FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta3-b56)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
an XSLT template with match="and" results in the following exception:
ERROR: 'Syntax error in 'and'.'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not compile stylesheet
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:824)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:619)

match="and" should match an element whoose name is "and". Apparently it is being treated as the logical operator "and" that appears in the "Predicate" part of an XPath location path.
A similar thing happens with match="or".


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Attempt to use an XSLT transformation with a template that matches the element "and" or the element "or", such as:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="and"/>
</xsl:transform>


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
<xsl:template match="and">
should match an element whoose name is "and"
<xsl:template match="or">
should match an element whoose name is "or"
ACTUAL -
ERROR: 'Syntax error in 'and'.'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not compile stylesheet
