See this snippet, which builds an XPath expression for a (any kind of) node:

http://www.topxml.com/code/default.asp?p=3&id=v20010323001030

It correctly recognizes every possible type of node (all 7 of them). Of
course, one could simply matche on the different node-types, however it is
not possible to match a namespace node in XSLT 1.0.
