This
NameTest
selects all nodes whose names are in the MathML namespace. These may be attribute nodes or element nodes, depending on the axis. There must be an enclosing element in the stylesheet that declares this prefix, by having an attribute of the form:
xmlns:MathML=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”
.

This
NodeTest
selects all text nodes on the relevant axis.

a processing instruction, even though it looks like one.
processing-instruction (‘ckpt’)
This
NodeTest
selects all processing instructions with the name (or
PITarget
as the XML specification calls it)
ckpt
: for example, the processing instruction

.

This
NodeTest
selects all nodes on the relevant axis.

Name Tests

As we have seen, a
NodeTest
is either a
NameTest
or a
KindTest
. This section describes
NameTests
. A
NameTest
is either a name, or a generic name specified using wildcards.
