Re: expression returns true but does not evaluate

yeah ken, I was looking for current(), but am sort of worn out trying
to make open office tables space correctly so I totally missed it.

Thanks,

The portion "parent::*" returns the parent of the current node in the
first expression and the parent of <value> in the second
expression.  Similarly the "local-name()" returns different values in
both expressions.

Did you perhaps want for the second one the following?

select="$moduleDoc//value[@name=concat(local-name(current()/parent::*),local-name(current()))]

I hope this helps.
