It will work: we do this all the time. Sometimes it's even recommended to 
do this even when you don't have to, instead of relying on context 
implicitly (it's more versatile and clearer for maintenance).

As I said earlier, check whether $element[@name] really gets you what you 
want, and not something else. $element[@name] is not the same as 
$element/@name. :->

Cheers,
Wendell
