Re: [docbook] Finding the "last-last"

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Regarding your transformation, I'm not sure I understand.
In a CALS table, a tgroup can have only one tbody.
So the parent tbody will never have a following sibling.
You just need to make sure the parent is a tbody
and not a thead or tfoot:

<xsl:template name="last-row">
  <xsl:if test="not(self::*[following-sibling::*]) and parent::tbody">
    <xsl:attribute name="rowsep">1</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
