Brian, noticed that all your answers said to use the parent/child tests.
That makes sense if the parent child relationship is static.  However, if
it's not, and your attributes are well defined there is no reason not to
select on attribute instead, eg:

	<xsl:template match="z[@birdy]">

and

	<xsl:template match="z[@bunny]">

will discriminate between the two cases you give...
