You can do "//@match[2]", but of course both this and your original
expression will require the stylesheet to be parsed. It would certainly be
better programming practice to use a mroe specific expression that will
still work when another template rule is added to the stylesheet. In fact,
it would probably be better practice to tackle this problem completely
differently...
