Re: [xsl] differentiating between *the* document node and anonymous document nodes

Hi Martin,

This works just as well, and the intent is more obvious. I like it.

As a follow-up question, is there an as="..." expression for an anonymous
document node? I try to declare as="..." as a best practice in my stylesheets.
It would be nice to differentiate between intentionally wanted anonymous
document nodes and forgotten as="..." declarations. I didnbt see an
anonymous document node listed at

19.1 Determining the Static Type of a Construct
https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#determining-static-type

If no such declaration exists, I can use a comment to indicate intent.

The $main-doc solution worked perfectly for my needs!



Or you need e.g. a global

  <xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="/"/>



and can then match on

   document-node()[. is $main-doc]/*



Thinking about it again, in XSLT 3 you should be able to match on

   $main-doc/*

directly instead of the

  document-node()[. is $main-doc]/*
