if not match "match"

Subject: if not match "match"

xsl if not
error is "Attribute 'match' is invalid on 'xsl:if'. "

Could someone please explain to me the relationship between the template
match and the if: match= relationship ??

I have managed to successfully used  this when its a simple example, eg

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1" ?>
<CATALOG>
  <CD>
    <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
    <ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST>
    <COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY>
    <COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY>
    <PRICE>10.90</PRICE>
    <YEAR>1985</YEAR>
  </CD>
</CATALOGUE>

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <table border="2" bgcolor="yellow">
      <tr>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Artist</th>
      </tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="CATALOG/CD">
      	<xsl:if match=".[ARTIST='Bob Dylan']">
      	  <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="TITLE"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="ARTIST"/></td>
	  </tr>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each>
.
.
.

According to this example the if is placed after the <xsl:for-each select> tag

In my example (too long to paste), I am using various for loops inside
different elements.
Why would this make a difference ?

ALso another, perhaps simpler question

<CATALOG>
  <CD>
    <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
    <TITLE>Empire Burlesque2</TITLE>
    <YEAR>1984</YEAR>
    <YEAR>1985</YEAR>
    <TITLE>Empire Burlesque3</TITLE>
  </CD>
</CATALOGUE>


In the above example, if I have a <For-each TITLE>, and thereafter a
<For-each YEAR> statement, would the list first be searched on all the
titles..ie go up and down the list and display all the titles and THEN go
up and down the list for all the YEARS ?

I had a problem with a similar example earlier, thus I ask.

THanks
