1) I need to match an element A provided it is one of the first three children of element Z. Alternatively, I could just match A and then conditionally process it within the template rule. 2) I need to match element B provided all its preceding siblings are any or all of elements W, X, or Y. Again, I could use xsl:if statements to apply the conditional logic. I can't seem to wrap my head around how to do these things. It should be so obvious and yet.... Can anybody help? TIA....

That's A[parent::Z and count(preceding-sibling::*) <= 3]. >2) I need to match element B provided all its preceding siblings are >any or all of elements W, X, or Y.
