Question

Is it possible to match attributes that do not belong to a subset of attributes? For example, I would like to match everything but @attr1 and @attr2. Is there a way to write a template match statement similar to the following, or am I going about this the wrong way?

<xsl:template match="NOT(@attr1) and NOT(@attr2)">      

Thanks

The easiest way would be to use two templates:

<xsl:template match="@attr1|@attr2"/>
<xsl:template match="@*">
    ....
</xsl:template>

The first template will catch the references to those you want to ignore, and simply eat them. The second will match the remaining attributes.
