Michael -- Those are different, Syd, so not interchangeable. The first does not give the identity template stylesheet an opportunity to intervene on a particular attribute node being pushed at the stylesheet. This would be done with a: <xsl:template match="@abc">..... for the cases where attribute processing is minimal, right? May I ask if that is because it's more efficient, more elegant, more XSLT-ish, or just personal preference? Note that I learned from Mike that the XSLT 2 way of doing the identity template is different still: <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*,node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>Note the use of the "," instead of "|" as this apparently prevents the need for the processor to arrange the nodes in document order. Not a big savings, but a savings nonetheless. We all learn a lot from Mike! . . . . . . . . . . . .
