In XSLT 1.0:

<xsl:value-of select="name($me1) = name($me2)"/>

Unfortunately, no. In XSLT 1.0, name($nodeset) returns the name of the first item in the nodeset.


I don't see any alternative to coding it as a nested loop

<xsl:variable name="matches">
<xsl:for-each select="$me1">
<xsl:for-each select="$me2">
<xsl:if test="name($me1) = name($me2)">yes</xsl:if>
</
</
</

<xsl:if test="contains($matches, 'yes')"

In 2.0:

<xsl:value-of select="$me1/name() = $me2/name()"/>
