RE: Inserting a parent node.

Well I think there's probably more going on here than I first can see,
but the infinite loop comes in when you say parent::node(), since member
is a child of group when you match member and have an apply-templates
pointing at parent::node() (group which has an apply-templates selecting
member) there is going to be a infinite recursive loop, unless of course
you had some parameter you could update with each apply-templates that
when it reached a certain value stopped applying-templates.

Seemed from the FAQ that the union operator was what I needed, but when
I apply that, I get an infinite loop.

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

input.xml
<group>
   <member url="other.xml"/>
</group>

other.xml
<person>Bub</person>

I think I can solve this with some parameters here and there, eg.
by passing the parent node of the member element as parameter
to the subsequent <apply-templates select="$content/*"/>. Just
wondering if that is the appropriate way.
