All Implemented Interfaces:
    Pattern

DefaultPattern a default implementation of Pattern which can take any XPath implementation or NodeFilter for defining the pattern. WARNING this implementation causes a worst case, brute force XSLT rule evaluation to be performed. Wherever possible the methods #getPriority , #getMatchType and #getMatchesNodeName should be overloaded to allow more rule filtering to occur.
