Harry,
Match attributes must conform to pattern specification. Quoting from Alan Kay's XSLT Programmers Reference, p415: "When a pattern is used in the match attribute of <xsl:template> or <xsl:key>, the predicate must not contain any references to variables. This is to prevent circular definitions: global variables can invoke keys or templates, so if keys and templates were allowed to be defined in terms of global variables, infinite recursion could happen. This restriction doesn't apply to patterns used in <xsl:number>."

After migrating to it, I find that I'm getting an XSL error in xsp.xsl (using Saxon 6.5). The message is: <our_path>/org/apache/cocoon/components/language/markup/xsp/java/xsp.xsl; Line#: 441; Column#: -1 com.icl.saxon.expr.XPathException: The match pattern in xsl:template may not contain references to variables So when I looked at line 441, this is what it has: <xsl:template match="*[not(namespace-uri(.) = $xsp-uri)]">... xsp-uri is basically used as a constant, so I just replaced it with its constant string literal value, and voila, everything's fine! Anyway, I'm curious - does anyone know whether match patterns can contain variables, or if Saxon's just being overly particular?
