Re: [xsl] Newbie Q: Style sheet for simple transform

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

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

<xsl:template match="agency">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(starts-with(name(), 
'custom_label'))] | *[starts-with(name(), 'custom_label')][1]"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(name(), 'custom_label')]">
  <custom_labels>
    <xsl:copy-of select=". | following-sibling::*[starts-with(name(), 
'custom_label')]"/>
  </custom_labels>
</xsl:template>

If you remove the numbers from the element names, you can simplify the 
stylesheet a lot.
