In SAXON you can do select="*[not(name(.)="a")], but name() is a string
expression and for some reason standard XSL doesn't allow a string
expression in a qualifier.

I'd be inclined to either (a) use xsl:for-each and xsl:if / xsl:choose, or
(b) use modes: define a mode in which processing "a" has no effect.
