Subject:   How to apply templates to all child elements except a few

Hi:

I was wondering if there was any way in xslt to APPLY TEMPLATES a few 
elements and exclude a few

Suppose i have an xml with a root element as el1
<el1>
<CHILD1></CHILD1>
<CHILD2></CHILD2>
<CHILD3></CHILD3>
<CHILD4></CHILD4>

</el1>
I want to write something like apply templates to all elements except 
CHILD4. How do I do this?

Can someone please guide me here.

Thank you.
