Actually, I don't want to match specific elements (I could do that
with <xsl:when test="local-name() = 'element_1' or local-name() =
'element_2 or local-name() = 'element_n''">

That isn't namespace safe.


 or just simply write
different templates for each different element).

That is namespace safe.


Using the self:: access is also namespace safe and is far better than using the name() functions. The name functions are appropriate for exposition but are not appropriate for most node testing purposes.

I hope this helps.
