I want to match all tags that have an attribute called 'surpress' whose value is 
not 'short'.  So the following seems correct to me:
<xsl:template match="sub[@surpress != 'short']">
only problem is that it also surpresses nodes where there is no
attribute called 'supress'

How do I get all nodes to print except those with attribute
'supress' not equalt to 'short'?

I would like to us eXPAth and not xsl:if
also I would really like to make this a global condition if posisble
and not set it in each Xpath expression.

Thanx
