I am trying to translate the Microsoft XSL style sheet listed below into
XSL1.0

How do I get at the element type? Is there a functional equivalent to
"tagname" that I can use 
within a template like this to pick out the element type within a template
that matches as follows:

<xsl:template match="*|/"> </xsl:template>


****************************************************************************

<xsl>
	<!-- Generic stylesheet for viewing XML -->
	<!-- Note that this stylesheet does not display attributes. -->
	
	<rule>
		<root/>
		<DIV font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt">
			<SPAN color="gray">&lt;<eval>tagName</eval>&gt;</SPAN>
				<children/>
			<SPAN color="gray">&lt;/<eval>tagName</eval>&gt;</SPAN>
		</DIV>
	</rule>

	<!-- Default Rule - matches any element -->
	<rule>
		<target-element/>
		<DIV margin-left="1em">
			<SPAN color="gray">&lt;<eval>tagName</eval>&gt;</SPAN><children/><SPAN
color="gray">&lt;/<eval>tagName</eval>&gt;</SPAN>
		</DIV>
	</rule>

</xsl>
