Maintenance XSL/XML default template. Was: Another XSL

Hi,

just consider the following case:
3 months later someone wants a new functionality and
adds a new tag XYZ to the DTD and to the XML.
What happens in this case for the xsl?

> ==>HERE		<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
> <xsl:template match="HSDocumentation"/>
In this case the default template would match the tag XYZ.

> <xsl:apply-templates select="HSString|HSDate|..."/>
In this case nothing happens to the output. The tag XYZ is ignored.

Or <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::HSDocumentation)]"/>
In this case the default template would match the tag XYZ.

I prefer the case which the new tag XYZ will be ignored.

Cheers,

Juergen

Or <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::HSDocumentation)]"/>
