Just something that I've always wanted to bring up, but always hesitated
to do because I don't know if it's really worthwhile:
I often find myself using xsl:for-each for no other purpose than merely
setting the context, e.g., in order to call a named template or to
simplify a set of XPath expressions.
Because such a for-each does not repeat, I always add a comment like
<!-- Merely sets the context, does not repeat -->.
I would be very happy if I could make my intentions clearer by using a
real XSLT construct in this situation, such as *<xsl:with
select="...">*. The semantics could also help as an assertion that,
indeed, the selection has exactly length 1.
The proposed name comes from my first computer language, Pascal.
