XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer's Reference, 4th Edition (490 page)

  • Patterns that specify both the node name and its schema type, for example
    attribute(@code, mf:part-number)
    , are more specific than those that specify only the name or the type, so they get a priority of +0.25.
  • Patterns that provide a more specific context, for example
    book[@isbn]
    or
    chapter/title
    or
    para[1]
    , have a higher priority, so they will be chosen in preference to templates whose patterns are respectively
    book
    ,
    title
    or
    para
    . Note, however, that this category can also include patterns that turn out not to be very selective at all; for example,
    //node()
    .
