Suppose the children of the context node are elements named A to Z.
Then I declare a variable
<xsl:variable name="alpha" select="A|B|C|D"/>
Now i want to match on the complement of alpha.
Can I say
it would have been quicker just to try, but...
<xsl:template match="* except $alpha"/>
no that would be a legal xpath but not a pattern
or
<xsl:template match="*[not $alpha]"/>
no, that's a syntax error so wouldn't run at all
easiest is
<xsl:template match="*"> the complement
<xsl:template match="A|B|C|D" priority="2"> this one
