select="*" is short for 
select="child::*"
and selects all child elements (as element is the principal node type in
the child axis, * will select other node types in otehr axeses, for
example attribute::* selects all attributes)

select="node()"
is short for
select="child::node()"
and selects all child nodes of any type, in partiular text nodes
comments and processing instructions as well as elements.
