Not quite. The default namespace is _never_ used by XPath or in XSLT patterns when evaluating node tests. match="first" will only match 'first' elements which are not in _any_ namespace. In the example, the second first _is_ in the default namespace, but it will not be matched. The distinction is very important (and is a constant source of confusion) when dealing with the default namespace. Dave XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
