Yes, or almost, as long as you have a schema-aware processor and
you've imported the relevant schema. If you have a schema that
contains:
<xs:element name="time" />
<xs:element name="time-simple" substitution-group="time" />
<xs:element name="time-complex" substitution-group="time" />
then you can match <time>, <time-simple> and <time-complex> elements
with the node tests "element(time)" or "element(time,*)". So you can
have a template like:
<xsl:template match="element(time)">...</xsl:template>
to match all three elements. However, a template like:
<xsl:template match="time">...</xsl:template>
will still only match an element that is actually called "time".
Cheers,
Jeni
