Like this:

<xsl:template match="part">
    <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:template>

But that's a different story :-) BTW, it is nice though to see some queries
which become simpler when converted from XML-QL to "XQL"; it is easy to
think that the reverse always holds, since the XQL documents focus on the
hard cases.
