Thankx for the reply .

But i have to use xsl:key in the ffollowing ormat <xsl:key name="..." match="..." use="..."/>

And that will  look for matching text() in the node but not for matching nodes that can have any text ...
I am looking for matching nodes across xml that can have text ...

Perhaps you want
  <xsl:key name="elements" match="*" use="name()"/>

Then
  select="key('elements',name())"
will match all elements with the same name as the
context element.
