Re: selecting elements by attributes when working with

<xsl:template match="tt:span[@class='defaultSpeaker']">
<xsl:if test="count(../preceding-sibling::*)>0">
<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/dd&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<dt>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</dt>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;dd&gt;</xsl:text>

  Please, never, never do that.  You are not generating correct XML
regarding XDM, but you are instead cheating with the serializer.  I
didn't look in details of what you want, but you should be able to find
another solution.

  If not, please post a simple excerpt of your input and your expected
output.

Thanks
