Technically, the value of the match attribute is a 'pattern',
defined in XSLT only. It is a restricted kind of XPath expression
that a single node can be tested against for a match, rather than
a means of locating multiple nodes or producing some other kind of
XPath object (boolean, number, string).

The value of a select attribute is an XPath expression, though.
