I suppose the pattern is what's written inside the match attribute in 
the stylesheet :) - so that's the same as ever, except that it's in a 
key, not a template?

Thanks for the answers. Just wanted to be sure. I'm doing some XSTL 
analysis where I rewrite match expressions to let them match only one 
particular node type (root node, named element, ...), and I just wanted 
to make sure that the only possible match pattern that could have 
accepted the root node in some previous iteration of my analysis was 
"/"  (don't need to rewrite that).

Oh, and I thought up another pattern that will match the root node (not 
its child, the document element): A union pattern with a / as one of its 
subpatterns...
