New XML-schema from version 4.5
Follows an example of the XML based on the new schema. Note that each node has been replaced with the Alias name of the node. This has ramifications on how XSLT-code has to be written.

Getting the Document Type for $currentPage
New version:
<xsl:value-of select="local-name($currentPage)" />
Replaces old version:
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@nodeTypeAlias" />
For Each child node
New version using
/* to select all nodes below this and
@isDoc to select documents only:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc]">
</xsl:for-each>
Replaces old version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node">
</xsl:for-each>
For Each child node of a specfic Document Type Alias
New version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/NewsItem">
</xsl:for-each>
Or if you have a property with the same name, use
@isDoc to get document:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/NewsItem [@isDoc]">
</xsl:for-each>
Replaces old version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias='NewsItem']">
</xsl:for-each>
For Each child node excluding a specfic Document Type Alias
New version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/*[not(self::NewsItem)]">
</xsl:for-each>
Replaces old version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias!='NewsItem']">
</xsl:for-each>
For Each child node via a selectable source
This example shows you how to list childnodes from the nodeID of the contentpicker.
New version:
<xsl:param name="Source" select="$currentPage/mySource" />
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($Source)/DocType">
</xsl:for-each>
Replaces old version:
<xsl:param name="Source"
select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($currentPage/data
[@alias='mySource'])" />
<xsl:for-each select="$Source/node"></xsl:for-each>
For Each node of a specfic Document Type Alias
This example walks upto the top level node and then looks through all child nodes. Expensive!
New version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::Home//MyDocumentType [@isDoc]">
</xsl:for-each>
Replaces old version:
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node
[@nodeTypeAlias='Home']//node [@nodeTypeAlias='MyDocumentType']">
</xsl:for-each>Using a macro parameter to get a document type property
New version:
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/* [name() = $myMacroParameter and not(@isDoc)]" />
Replaces old version:
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias=$myMacroParameter]" />
