I hadn't thought of that.  If that works, then that is
the way I'll try.

What if I have a document where the stage directions are
given in two different ways and I want to match both...
can I do:
<xsl:variable name="stage">sd|stagedir</xsl:variable>

Or does that mean that <xsl:template match="*[name() = $stage]">
will just look for an element named "sd|stagedir"?

Nope, for the most part each one is individualistic.

Probably, but this would have so many different possibilities that
it wouldn't be worth it.  i.e. I'd have to change it for each file
(perhaps).

Thanks for the suggestions Jarno,
