testing the current node in IF statements

I have begun learning XSL and have figured out, that I can use testing
on attributes, ancestors, descendants to eliminate some duplication in
my code, 

i.e.

<xsl:template match="contact">
	<xsl:if test="@gender='male'">
			instructions
	</xsl:if>
	<xsl:if test="@gender='female'">
			different instructions
	</xsl:if>
			some instructions common to both attributes
</xsl:template>

what I really want to do now is use the same idea for the node itself
i.e..

<xsl:template match="book | chapter">
	<xsl:if test="self='book'">
			instructions
	</xsl:if>
	<xsl:if test="self='chapter'">
			different instructions
	</xsl:if>
			some instructions common to both
</xsl:template>

but this doesn't work.  

I know, <xsl:if test="self='chapter'"> doesn't work, but there must be a
correct way of achieving something like this.

I am using XT

Thank you for your help

Peter
