Re: performance of copying all source to result

wouldn't match="*" be quicker than 
<xsl:template match=" a | applet | b | big | body | br | caption | 
    cite | code | col | colgroup | dd | div | dl | dt | em | font | 
    form | frame | frameset | head | h1 | h2 | h3 | h4 | h5 | h6 | hr | 
    html | i | iframe | img | link | li | map | meta | noframes | ol | 
    p | param | pre | s | script | small | span | strong | style | 
    sub | sup | td | th | title | tr | tt | ul | var | table ">

you can still overide that with more specific templates for elements you
don't want to copy.
Also, if there are any elements for which you want always want to copy
the whole branch, you may find it quicker to use copy-of select="."
rather than <xsl:copy and xsl:apply-templates.
