Nope.  I haven't got it.  Never mind.  I'll go back to the spec and do some
reading.  If I still can't work it out, I'll perhaps ask again.

Thanks for trying.  Sorry for being so dumb!

Cheers

  So, if I say:

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

  I specify a template for every <stone> element regardless of where it
  appears in the file?

yes, although

 <xsl:template match="stone">

would match the same elements. It's never useful to start a match
pattern with //.

   Meaning that:

  /stone

  and

  /stone/*/stone

  would activate the same template?  Is that right?


I don't understand this last part. /stone and /stone/*/stone
are very different expressions and woul dselect different nodes in a
select expression and match different nodes if used in a match pattern.
