RE: [xsl] How can I ask for a specific parent?

[Robert Seber <robert.seber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends what is more important to you: efficiency or maintainability.
Unless your XML is huge it is unlikely that the pattern matching is going to
take a significant amount of time.  You are effectively writing the logic
for the processor to follow, whereas I am allowing the XSL processor handle
the logic itself.  Generally speaking, the more logic, the harder code
becomes to maintain and understand.

Given the choice I favour maintainability over performance, unless the
performance hit is significant, when I go for performance.
