Par problem solved (below).  But I am still have problems:
I'm trying to call a template if the @TITLE is empty, to
produce some default text based on the name() of the element.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions: I've been thinking of

<xsl:apply-templates select="concat(name(),'_title')"/>

but it doesn't return a DOM node, so I'm wondering ....?

Thanks in anticipation,
lee



<xsl:if test="position()='1'">... seems to do it, 
at least where:

<xsl:template match="*">
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/SPC">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="ITEM"/>
</xsl:template>

I wrote:

> <ROOT>
>   <ITEM>Foo</ITEM>
>   <ITEM title="This is a title">Bar</ITEM>
>   <DIFFERENTITEM>Baz</DIFFERENTITEM>
>   <DIFFERENTITEM title="This is a title">Pez</DIFFERENTITEM>
>   <ITEM>Tsk.</ITEM>
> </ROOT>
