RE: [xsl] select only some elements and attributes

["Michael Kay" <mhkay at iclway dot co dot uk>]

Write one template rule that copies and another that doesn't:

<xsl:template match="....">
<xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="...."/>

Then you can either list the elements you want copied in the first template
rule, e.g. match="a|b|c", and write match="*" in the second; or do it the
other way round, have the first template rule invoked by default and the
second specify the elements you want excluded.
