Re: [xsl] XPath shorthand

I'm assuming/hoping that the positional predicate in the match pattern
will curtail the search when the key is being indexed since all I want
is a list of element names.

Thank you both.

In the end I went with

<xsl:key name="desired_fields"
match="m__id[1]|m__name[1]|m__path[1]|m__enabled[1]"
use="local-name()"/>

and

following-sibling::*[key('desired_fields',local-name())]

what is shorthand for "folllowing-sibling::A | following-sibling::B
.........following-sibling::Z"

Anything better than  "following-sibling::*[self::A||self::B...|self::C]
?


some of these may be more or less efficient depending, and some assume XSLT,
but

../(A|B|C|Z)[. >> current()]

following-sibling::* intersect ../(A|B|C|Z)


following-sibling::*[string-length(name())=1 and upper-case(name())=name()]
