In this case the less verbose
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
works just as well since it will still match everything.
Basically the above (or Mike's version) just defeats the built-in 'copy the
value of everything' template. Basically there is an unwriitten
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
in every stylesheet.
If you wanted to SUPRESS output of anything you don't explicitly want to
handle completely (which I find is a more frequent requirement) then use the
one-liner (probably the only XSLT one liner there is...)
<xsl:template match="*"/>
That one is pretty much in the boilerplate for all my XSLT and honestly I
think it aught to be the default ;o).
