> What could be more explicit than copy?

The (slight) problem with just "copy" is that there are two types of
copy: shallow and deep, and so its not clear immediately clear whether
the default action for "copy" is:

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

or

<xsl:copy-of select="."/>

Maybe "copy" could be improved on to make it clear that it's not a
straight copy, for example "copy-descent"  (that's an example, not a
suggestion!)
