Re: match nodes based on given path

Are you committed to this format:

<xsl:param name="externalLinks">
  <link path="/root/node/value"/>
  <link path="/root/value"/>
</xsl:param>

as that makes it difficult in standard XSLT 1 as its a RTF so you can
not get at the structire of the parameter at all.

If you had
<xsl:key name="special" match="/root/node/value"/>
<xsl:key name="special" match="/root/value"/>

Then you could have

<xsl:template match="value" name="value">
  <xsl:value-of select="'usual'"/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="key('special')" priority="2">
  do something extra
  <xsl:call-template name="value"/>
</xsl:template>

Rather than 
 <xsl:call-template name="value"/>
which might not be teh right thing to do if you have lots of different
 normal templates you want to call you could instead do

  <xsl:apply-imports/>

and stick all your "normal" templates in a stylesheet imported into this
one
