While 'at the job' already, wouldn't one want more granularity? I see much
alternatives between 'clone' at one end and 'copy-text' at the other end. I
would find it logical if one could opt in or out the different part of which
the copying consists, independedly from each other. The options could be:

- preserve-text (the XSLT 1.0 default)
- preserve-elements
- preserve-attributes
- preserve-comments
- preserve-processing-instructions
- preserve-namespaces (??)

And what I have done quite often as well is removal of namespaces, so perhaps
something extra like: strip-namespaces?

Just some thoughts.

Kind regards,
