Re: characters in xsl

'//stone' is a 'better match' in the sense that it is more specific. It will not match the root element if its name would be stone.

Wrong. In XSLT 1.0, and in 2.0 with a tree that has a document node as its
root, match="//stone" matches exactly the same elements as match="stone".

There's a slight difference in 2.0: match="//stone" will only match a stone
element that belongs to a document tree.
