> It's just another way of matching templates, not a whole new concept???

well it depends if you want to merge with apply-templates on text nodes
or whether you want to keep the normal templates on text nodes and have
these doing something else (I think) 

anyway it wasn't a fully worked out proposal, i hadn't even seen it
written down before I stared replying to jeni's email, it just slipped
out:-)

However I think something along those lines could be made workable.
