Hi Abel, Well, like I said, usually the easiest way to do that is by using an identity transform (see my examples), but I haven't seen your code so I can't tell it's the right approach. With any of your XPaths, however, this works for excluding attributes: //tier1/tier2/@*[not(local-name() = 'exclude-me')] and this with QNames: //tier1/tier2/@*[not(name() = 'ns:exclude-me')] Finally, you may have hoped this would work, like it does for normal axis: //tier1/tier2/@*[not(self::exclude-me)] but then you try to test for the self::node() being an 'exclude-me' element node, but self::node() is not an element, it is an attribute (the reason is, technically speaking, that the principal node kind of self:: is the element node, and you can't switch that). Unfortunately, XPath does not have a way to express a self::node() axis when the axis is the attribute axis. I.e., this won't work (illegal): //tier1/tier2/@*[not(self::@exclude-me)] XPath 2.0 has a workaround for this (also note the way of using parenthesis, which is not legal for XPath 1.0, but in this case saves a lot of re-typing the parent path): //tier1/tier2/(@* except @exclude-me)
