OK. One more question;
what is the difference between:
self::*[@border]
*[@border]
node()[@border]
I noticed from your link that self:: is an Xpath declaration. Is Xpath built
into XSL or would I need to specific Xpath namespace declaration? Aside from
testing and then trying to determine if a namespace is missing or if the
command was entered incorrectly, how could one tell if a namespace is or is
not required?
