(Even if that's technically 3.1.) xsl:mode can clearly do much more than I use it for, but the one-line identity template version is a boon to multi-pass processing. The general... compactness of expression? I'm not sure what to call it. <xsl:variable as="xs:integer" name="splitPos" select="min($kids[label = $labelKeys] ! index-of($kids, .))" /> is certainly *possible* in XSLT 1.0, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't write it like that. Possibly better phrased as "it's been awhile since I was annoyed by the lack of function". -- Graydon
