Re: [xsl] RE: apply-templates and excluding a node

[Jörg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

With 'select="*"' you select all childs, so with 'select="*[]"' you select 
all childs, which fulfill a condition. This condition is on the child-level. 
So with 'select="*[not(child::PRFID)]' you select all childs of the current 
element, which have not a child named PRFID. But you want the condition with 
the child of the current element itself => 'select="*[not(self::PRFID)]"'.
