How do I select all nodes that DO NOT have a specific attribute?
For example, I have
<things>
<thing id="1">One</thing>
<thing>shoe</thing>
<thing>bear</thing>
<thing id="2">Two</thing>
<thing id="3">Three</thing>
<thing>airplane</thing>
<thing id="4">Four</thing>
<thing id="5">Five</thing>
</things>
and I want:
<thing>shoe</thing>
<thing>bear</thing>
<thing>airplane</thing>
What I got so far is
<xsl:for-each select="things/thing[string-length(@id) = 0]">
...
</xsl:for-each>
This seems to work, but it rubs me the wrong way. Is there a more elegant
solution?
