hello
i was not involved in this correspondence but
i was just looking at this and i found something confusing that's why i am asking this .what i am not getting is in this

<xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">

    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates  select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

in this template match what are you matching actually with or condition? and why
or condition in select.?
may be it is silly question but i am really not getting it at all.
