In XSLT there is the

<xsl:value-of select="expression"/>

to get the value of an element, but is there something to select the tag-name of the element?

In a situation like this:

<person>
  <!-- required stuff -->
  <name>Robert</name>
  <!-- optional stuff, free form for future extension. 
       Using XMLSchema's xsd:any -->
  <profession>programmer</profession>
  <hobby>photography</hobby>
</person>

<xsl:for-each select="person">
   <xsl:tag-of select="."/> : <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

To get output like this:

name : Robert
profession : programmer
hobby : photography

Of course the above XSLT won't compile because

 <xsl:tag-of select="expression"/>

doesn't exist. But how could this be done?

This will give you the current element name (tag name)

<xsl:value-of select ="name(.)"/>

OP-Edit: This will also do the trick:

<xsl:value-of select ="local-name()"/>
