John, >So, if I have a whole bunch of elements called foo and bar, and only a few are >foo.something, and bar.something, what am I missing in matching on them? Well, name() returns a string giving the name of the element. contains() takes two arguments and returns true if the first contains the second. So if you want to see whether the name contains 'something', then you can use: contains(name(), 'something') Of course you can use local-name() instead of name() with the same general effect.
