Of course you are right... I was too fast making a sample xml. The
real xml-file I'm working on is too complex to post here, so its
better with a sample.

However, I've made a better sample and actually now it works: Here's
the solution:

do you have any comments to this?
thank-you for respons anyway...

XML-FILE:
=======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<members>
	<profile>
		<name>Bill Clinton</name>
		<married>false</married>
		<kid>joe</kid>
	</profile>
</members>


XSL-FILE:
=======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

<xsl:template match="members">
members-template is matched!
<xsl:apply-templates select="profile/kid"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="members/profile/married">
<xsl:if test=".='false'">no</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test=".='true'">yes</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="kid">
<xsl:apply-templates select="../married"></xsl:apply-templates>
kids-template is matched!
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
