But syntactically, I don't see how that is accomplished. xsl:copy does not make a deep copy, it only copies the current node. The xsl:apply-templates element with the xsl:copy recursively processes any descendants. The second template is more specific, and therefore, has a higher default priority, so it is chosen rather than the first one, if it matches the current node. For more info, see: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict Is there some reason you're not just using the expression "node() | @*", instead of "*|@*|text()|comment()"? Are you excluding processing instructions on purpose? Dave XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
