Presumably if you match on a wild card you know what you're doing? Why else would you be using them? I do have some XSLT which matches on local-name() for this very reason: I don't care what namespace the source was from, the transformation is generic. However, for my purposes, local-name() is sufficient. However, I can imagine some generic templates where other Xpath manipulation is wanted and local-name won't suffice (IE; you want multiple nodes)...???
