Re: Value-of, copy-of

With the mode, things will not be copied unless you first do 
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy"/>.  Doing just a plain 
<xsl:apply-templates/> will not end up using the copy template.  Also, you 
cannot "override" the copying unless you also have an <xsl:template 
match="notCopiedElement" mode="copy">.  So it has its uses, but really it's a 
solution to a different problem.
