RE: key() question?

Sorry for my newbie question but, given this xml
<doc>
 <something>
  <pattern level="1"/>
  <anotherthing>
   <pattern level="2"/>
  </anotherthing>
  ....
 </something>
 <pattern level="1"/>
</doc>

 and given this xsl

...
<xsl:template match="doc">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="pattern">
 ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//pattern">
 ...
</xsl:template>


doesn't the match="pattern" gets only the level=1" patterns???
and match="//patterns" get's all of them??

thanks in advance

yes exactly, but

 template match="//pattern"

is the same (except for default priority) as
 template match="pattern"

ie such a template would match the same nodes as got indexed by a key
with the same match pattern.
