What I meant was, you're right, but I've brainwashed myself so bad with my cookie cutter approach ;o) that I forget the rules... Really, XSLT (at least for my purposes) should just ignore anything that there isn't an explicit match for. I always put in a 'do nothing' and then just run an open apply templates loop at the top to get that behaviour, which is 99.99% of the time what you want when building web pages. I guess XSLT is showing its roots, not surprising given the terminology they use (stylesheet??? its a PROGRAM guys!).
So the original post is correct in general, though in my little cozy world my way works too. > > Sorry, should be <xsl:apply-templates/> not <xsl:copy-of .../> sigh. > > > Sorry, but this is wrong.
