Finding nodes which hold for multiple conditions

[Ginu]

Hi,
the task is to identify semantically identical elements where some additional attributes do not match.

The XSL-transformation should find a node NAME which @id attribute matches to another NAME/@id in the document tree and additionally a specific further conditions holds (@cid's shouldn't be the same). For that I would like to refer to the node selected in the "following" axes, but I do not know how to refer to this "current-following" node. <xsl:if test="./NAME/@cid=following::NAME/@cid">

and now I would liek to refer to the current and the selected following node for further checks like <!--[CURRENT@id != CURRENTFOLLOWING-@id]" --> ....
</xsl:if>

I am not sure I understand what you want but there is the current function in XSLT http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#misc-func to find the current node so maybe that is what you are looking for. It can also help to use a variable e.g. <xsl:variable name="variableName" select="xpath expression here"> to temporarily store a node or nodeset.

If I understand you correctly, you can put a predicate on the following::NAME node that compares its id attribute with current's.

<xsl:if test="./NAME/@cid=following::NAME[@id != current/@id]/@cid">
