RE: Why don't this work?

[Jonathan Marsh <jmarsh at microsoft dot com>]

nodeName() is not a node selector, and cannot be used outside a filter [].
In XSLT, the equivalent function name() can be used in certain places like
value-of select="" but still not in apply-templates or match.  A node's name
is a property of the node, not a node itself.
