RE: [xsl] Problem using document function in a template rule

You can write

match="qualification"

since there is only one context in which qualification elements appear
in your input.

If both your source documents had the same structure, and you really
needed to write a template rule that matched qualification elements in
one document and not the other, you could do it as:

match="qualification[count((/)|document('doc1.xml'))=0]"

but it's not something I have ever needed to do, and would probably be
rather expensive.
