RE: [xsl] Can't identify last ancestor node

["Aron Bock" <aronbock@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mat, you do want last() to identify the last menu.  For example, with your 
input (below), this XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

   <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
       <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/></xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="menu[not(*) and position() = last()]">
       <xsl:copy>
           <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
           <xsl:attribute name="last">1</xsl:attribute>
       </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menudata>
    <menu name="link1">
         <menu name="link1a"/>
         <menu name="link1b"/>
         <menu name="link1c" last="1"/>
    </menu>
    <menu name="link2">
         <menu name="link2a"/>
         <menu name="link2b"/>
         <menu name="link2c" last="1"/>
    </menu>
</menudata>
