Try using templates.

<xsl:stylesheet ...>

<xsl:apply-templates />

<xsl:template>
	<!-- all other elements come here -->
	<!-- do your processing  -->

	<!-- now recursively process the rest of the doc -->
	<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "infosort">
	<!-- do nothing -->
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
