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”
.

NodeTest
selects all text nodes on the relevant axis.

This
NodeTest
selects all processing instructions with the name (or
PITarget

ckpt
: for example, the processing instruction

This
NodeTest

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.
