Re: how to test for the element type of the current no

self::B is what you want

tests whether the string value of teh current node is equal to
the string value of its B chilf.

Rather tha testing self:: B you could more easily replace the for-each
by an apply templates and have two templates one matching "B" and one
matching "A/B"
