Hi Florent,

I have solved it now with the id mapping method and it seems its fast enough.
Just out of curiosity; do you have a simple example how this should work as
meta data?  Sounds interesting...

  This is not possible in plain XSLT.  In this case, there is a simpler
solution, that is listing the IDs as you shown before.

  But sometimes it is convenient/required to put XPath expressions in
the document.  The solution is then to see the document as a
meta-stylesheet, and generate with XSLT a stylesheet with it.  This
generated stylesheet will be in its turn runned to produce the desired
result.

  I do that every day in my work.
