Re: display parts of XML tree with xsl:copy ?

Thanks a lot Jenni.
But unfortunately I forgat to mention that I need a generic solution.

I cannot include e.g. an extra template for issue because I do not know the
complete supertree.
This XSL should generally work with nearly all kinds of XML docs.
Maybe I forgat also to mention that this is part of an XML Wrapper program
which submit standardized queries to heterogenious XML sources. An attched
source description helps to map to query to xslt, but i definitivly don't
want the uses to note there that the (e.g. issue supertree) must be
traversed and how.

Do you see any possibility to do this generic or at least a bit more generic
;-)

Thanks Robert
