One way would be to create a default template which simply copies everything across, and then override it in the case of elements called ABC:jason.Smith.
Eg, here's the copy-everything bit: ---- copy-all.xsl ---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- This template copies all nodes it encounters, but at each node allows other templates to match (unlike a copy-of from the root). --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="child::node()|attribute::*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> and here's a stylesheet that uses this, and renames one element: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:ABC="org.jason"> <xsl:import href="copy-all.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="ABC:jason.Smith"> <ABC:Smith> <xsl:apply-templates/> </ABC:Smith> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> That's adapted from Mike Kay's XSLT book (1st ed) in the <xsl:copy-of> section.
