Yes sorry I didn't notice that you were doing this from an attribute
node so it has no descendants so // does not select anything other than
the current attribute so it does no harm in this case.  If you executed
//.. from an element node it would be different. As I see Michael has
commente dit's more usual (but equivalent) to express
foo/@id[.='x']/.. as
foo[@id='x']

Jeni's site or the faq for this list will have lots of example (and teh
archives of this list have lots more) look for "identity template"
for the second pass you just need an identity template that copies al
nodes
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
plus extra templates that do whatever it is that you need to do to
specifc nodes (sorry I can't remember what the problem was now)
