Re: [xsl] Getting the current node, in a different document

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Is there anything besides their structure that you can hang onto, 
such as equivalent id values on corresponding nodes? If so, this is 
much easier.

If not, but their structure really is identical, then corresponding 
nodes in both trees will have the same number of preceding elements, 
the same number of ancestors, the same number of preceding sibling 
elements etc.

Is that enough of a hint?

Cheers,
Wendell
