Obviously, that was a "practical" solution. :-)
(I did not even include tests for comment and PI nodes there.)
Nodes other than elements and text are very rarely transformed/matched.
As for the root, we can always separate it with a match
or by employing the parent axis.

Yes, my solution is not ideal as that of, say, Dimitre,
but what a nice try, isn't it? :-)
