Re: Copy missing elements

You might also like to try this stylesheet(based on identity
transform). I am assuming you mean that 2nd member element does'nt
have email tag, while 1st one has.. If you need a more generic
solution, please let us know..

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="member[2]">
   <member>
     <xsl:copy-of select="*" />
     <email/>
   </member>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
