[oXygen-user] code template for identity transform

[Lars Huttar]

Thank you for this. I am glad but not very surprised to see Oxygen
already offers this... it usually has everything that would be commonly
useful!

The only thing I see lacking here is discoverability. Next time I go to
use this pattern, if it's not soon, I'm not sure how I will remember to
use "ct", as I do not remember hearing "copy template" or "recursive
copy template" as a term for the pattern.
Is it a well-known term? I've only heard of it as the "identity
transformation". E.g. at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying it is
referred to that way; and a yahoo search for xslt "identity transform"
gives me about 100x as many results as for xslt "recursive copy
template". (xslt "copy template" gives about 20x, but with many false
positives.)

Would it be reasonable to add "id" as a name for this code template?

Thanks,
Lars
