3.0 allows more axis references in template matches than 2.0 did; 2.0 is
child and attribute only, 3.0 allows descendant. (I think it allows all
ForwardAxis axises.)
So
<xsl:template match="descendant::*"/>
is a legal match attribute value.
Leaving any use of except or intersect or union out of it for now just
what does that match mean?
descendant::* matches any element that is a descendant of anything. Which is
not very useful.
But section/descendant::text()[1] matches the first descendant text node of a
section element, which starts to look quite handy.
If this holds for 3.0 (and mind you it doesn't, quite), then
match="following-sibling::li" would match every 'li' in your document
except first children of their respective parents.
We're not allowing the sibling axes in patterns, only the complete set of
downward axes.
