RE: [xsl] Selecting a group of elements with different names

["tom tom" <tomxsllist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Am I right in saying the first option requires me to purchase a schema aware 
XSLT processor?

The second option looks similar to the one I suggested, its not really 
extensible when I need to make the check for list | box | group at numerous 
places in the stylesheet. I would like to define these object names in one 
place and then reference them from numerous XPaths.
