Thats known as matching on "result tree fragments" and is explicitly forbidden in the current draft. Basically the argument against it was that it introduces multi-pass capabilities into XSL, and reduces the ability to do incremental implementations. Personally I don't find this very convincing - string processing gives raise to the same problems as result tree matching. >I tried to achieve this with the string functions but I couldn't come up >with a scheme to handle a variable number of items. It should be possible, though. I've posted a few months back an XSL program which solves the n-queens problem by abusing the string operations - if you look it up you could probably get some ideas on how to achieve what you need. I'd be wary of actually using such code in a real system, though. I'd prefer to chain two XSLT stylesheets instead.
