The syntax of XSLT patterns is a (small) subset of the syntax for XPath expressions. Parentheses are not allowed, and "|" is allowed only as the top-level operator. So it has to be match="p[count(node()) = 0] | q[count(node()) = 0]" or some other construct as you suggest. Though you could write this more tersely as match="p[not(node())] | q[not(node())]" Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
