Re: XSLT select: does case matter in tag cames?
Yes, in the whole XML world size matters. The behaviour you describe is
really strange. It never encountered to me.

Ditto, size matters. Must be bug somewhere.
Alan,
Take a look at:
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/news/xmlhack.xml?cocoon-view=content
It has XML like:
<CHANNEL HREF="http://xmlhack.com/"
BASE="http://xmlhack.com/"
LASTMOD="2002-08-02T22:51"
PRECACHE="YES" LEVEL="0">
<TITLE>XMLhack</TITLE>
...
With all CAPS. This is transformed with stylesheets/news/xmlhack.xsl
XSLT:
...
<xsl:template match="CHANNEL">
...
And everything works. Check result at
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/news/xmlhack.xml
