Re: Variables in match expressions

So i have to do like that,

               <xsl:template match="*">
			<xsl:if test="count(.|$snode)=1">
				...
			</xsl:if>
               </xsl:template>

but isn't that a waste of processing? I'm matching all nodes when i
really want one specific known node.

Or is the processing of the "default" templates similar to this?
