Re: perfomance question about selecting from child-nod

Answers to such questions often depend on the processor, so I suppose
the real answer is just to time it it with the processor that you intend
to use.

Note however that there are alternatives to the two forms you show.
the second form would presumably only be slower if ../abc is slow
but you can limit the number of times you need to use .. in your
template without using parameters, eg

<xsl:variable name="parent" select=".."/>
<xsl:variable name="tannr" select="$parent/tannr"/>
etc and then use  $tannr rather than ../tannr  however I would have
thought that you would have to have an awful lot of access to ../ inside
your DARKONTRAKT template before any of these made any real difference.
