RE: [XPath] matching elements which satisfy a specific

Hi Tobi.
How does your function handle nodes with namespace??? Since DTDs doesn't
have namespaces but have prefixes it might think that xsl:stylesheet
(with xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform) and xsl:stylesheet (with
xsl=http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl) are the same element (they ave the same
name and the same prefix)???

No, this is not what people should do, and they would have no reason to.

The specification of the function would not mention the acronym "DTD", 
as I should not have mentioned it. It helped much less than it confused.

No, not completely different; just the obvious namespace issues which 
are clearly specified for all XPath functions AFAIK.
