Is there a more direct test? It seems OK to me. But you could put the test into the match attribute of your template, of course. I have used stuff like this: <xsl:template match="n[*[not(self::c)]]"> <!-- Do stuff --> </xsl:template> I don't really know if "not(self::c)" is more efficient than "name()!='c'" but I prefer it for some reason, maybe because there's no function call?
