Matching "foo | foobar" gives you the union of the set of all foo with the set of all foobar. You can read it as "OR", but it's still a union operator. XPath has a separate "or" operator, but that's not the same thing.

I've noticed the the Muenchian method uses '|' and that everyone refers to this as a Union. However, I also read that this
<xsl:template match="foo | foobar">
means to match the foo OR foobar elements. Does the definition of the operator change based on the application?
