[xsl] A better solution...

---

---

Hi *,

I would like to know if it's possible to find a better solution for this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>

	<xsl:param name="S"/>

	<xsl:template match="/Sections">
		<xsl:for-each select="//Section[@Title=$S][1]">
			<xsl:call-template name="SubS"/>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="SubS" match="Section">
		<!- ... -->
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This applies the 2nd template to the first occurrence of node Section with
attribute Title equal to the parameter S.

The XML looks like this (sections can be nested up to any level):

<Sections>
	<Section Title="1">
		<Section Title="2"/>
		<Section Title="4"/>
		<Section Title="8">
			<Section Title="9"/>
		</Section>
	</Section>
	<Section Title="3">
		<Section Title="2"/>
	</Section>
	...
</Sections>

What I don't like is to have to use a for-each to select the node.
Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Frank.
