In order to "delete" a node, I'm trying to write an xpath that, when given an id, will return the entire tree with the exception of the matching node for the id. This must be done using the processing model of XSLT and cannot be done with a single XPath expression. I hope the solution below helps. I left every other parameter you used untouched. .............
