Can't comment on IE5 performance. SAXON optimises patterns consisting of a single element name because they are so common. It will probably only make a difference of 20% at worst, certainly there are more important things to worry about in making a stylesheet go fast. Patterns only really get expensive when you start using complex qualifying predicates. Unnecessary naming of the ancestor nodes doesn't hurt too much if the node is going to match anyway. But where the ancestors are actually necessary to discriminate several rules, the impact will be bigger because you will be doing more unsuccessful probing. If performance is a concern, avoid overloading element names. Mike Kay > I am concerned about performance, although we are a bit away > from performance > testing.
