Hi Martin,
The $main-doc solution worked perfectly for my needs!
This list is a gem. (You too, Martin.)

Hi everyone,
Given the following input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<html>
<body>
<div>
<p>line 1</p>
<p>line 2</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I apply the following stylesheet that (1) adds a comment to the root node, and
(2) ungroups <div> elements:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform<https://urldefense.com/v3/__ht
tp:/www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform__;!!A4F2R9G_pg!e1_KApmfI02y0j5SgYccRvq2b6Po

version="3.0">
<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<!-- add comment to root node of document -->
<xsl:template match="/*"> <!-- #1 -->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:comment>some info about the document</xsl:comment>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- ungroup <div> using a temporary variable for the contents -->
<xsl:template match="div">
<xsl:variable name="result"> <!-- #2 -->
<xsl:sequence select="node()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$result"/> <!-- #3 -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The problem is that when I ungroup <div> into an anonymous document node at
#2, then apply templates to the results at #3, the root node template at #1 is
applied again:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html><!--some info about the document-->
<body>
<p><!--some info about the document-->line 1</p>
<p><!--some info about the document-->line 2</p>
</body>
</html>
How can I apply a template to the true top-level document node, but not to
anonymous document nodes?
I could store the documentbs base-uri() in a variable and check it:
<!bremember input documentbs URI -->
<xsl:variable name="doc-uri" as="xs:string" select="base-uri(.)"/>
<!-- add comment to root node of document -->
<xsl:template match="/*[base-uri() = $doc-uri]"> <!-- #1 -->
...omitted...
</xsl:template>
This works for match=b/*b, but not for b/b (because b/b cannot
have predicates). Is there a better way to differentiate between the input
document node and anonymous document nodes?
To me it sounds as if you want to process $result in a different mode.
Or you need e.g. a global
<xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="/"/>
and can then match on
document-node()[. is $main-doc]/*
