You have a template for element nodes (match="*") so why do you test
generate-id(.) != generate-id(/)
? An element (.) is never a root node (/).
Because the template recursively ascends the document I need to
test that I have arrived at the top.
But your template with match="*" is never processed for the root
node which is match="/". If anything makes sense then
generate-id(.) != generate-id(/*)
as that compares the matched element to the root element (which is
different from the root node).
Ahhh! That's it. Since I know what the root element is always a
myns:Dataset is I can say this:
generate-id(.) != generate-id(/myns:Dataset)
And that stops the recursion problem, and it works.
