expression expected
Sorry, I no longer get the error...it just doesn't work. In a recursive
template where you would use for example value-of select="@name" to return
the current node's name attribute, how can I get the same "filter" within my
xpath?

It may not work but it wouldn't generate an error, it is legal syntax
comparing the name  child with the name attribute and if they are not there
they will just be "". So if you are getting an error then it must be in
the part of the stylesheet that you are not showing.

This is exactly the error you'd get if you used an AVT here, are you
sure you are not running your first posted version?
