Omitting node within For-Each in Merge

Hi everyone,

The answer to this problem may be as simple as finding my sunglasses perched
on my head, but I'm having trouble dealing with a simple concept. I've
looked in the archives and around the net but have come up blank.

I'm merging two documents and matching a common element with a variable. But
how do I exclude or omit redundant data?

My XML document A:
<level>
    <level>10</level>
    <data>foo</data>
    <more_data>bar<more_data>
</level>

My XML document B:

<row>
    <level>10</level>
    <foo_data>foodata</foo_data>
    <bar_data>bar_data</bar_data>
</row>

Output desired:

<merge>
    <level>10</level>
    <data>foo</data>
    <more_data>bar<more_data>
    <foo_data>foodata</foo_data>
    <bar_data>bar_data</bar_data>level>10>
</merge>


My current XSL:

<xsl:variable name="merge" select="document('merge.xml')"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<merge>
    <xsl:for-each select="//level/level">
        <xsl:variable name="level">
            <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:copy-of select="../child::*"/>
        <xsl:copy-of select="$merge//row[Level=$level]/*"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
</merge>

Because I'm asking it to select all the children of <row> I get the <level>
element output again, I want to omit this. Is there a special way to
filter/omit nodes without suppressing the output with templates? i.e.
Specify to select all children nodes EXCEPT <level>? This is where I get
stuck for some reason.

TiA,

/johnny :)
