MathML:*	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 NameTest selects all elements, unless it is used with the attribute axis (in the form attribute::* or @* ) when it selects all attributes, or with the namespace axis (as namespace::* ), when it selects all namespaces.
text()	This NodeTest selects all text nodes on the relevant axis.
processing-instruction()	This NodeTest selects all processing instructions on the relevant axis. Note that the XML declaration at the start of the document is not 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 frequency = daily?> .
node()	This NodeTest selects all nodes on the relevant axis.

Name Tests

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.
