Re: Clarify Add an element to the result xml document

<xsl:template match="MessageID">
  <xsl:copy>
  <!-- here the copy template is applied only to possible attributes -->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
    <xsl:copy>
      <!-- here the copy template is applied to attributes and nodes -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

To clarify what I need.
This is source XML:

<Order>
	<OrderHeader>
		<OrderNumber>
			<BuyerOrderNumber>3</BuyerOrderNumber>
			<SellerOrderNumber/>
			<ListOfMessageID>
		<!-- one MessageID element -->
				<MessageID>
					<IDNumber/>
					<IDAssignedBy>
						<IDAssignedByCoded/>
						<IDAssignedByCodedOther/>
					</IDAssignedBy>
					<IDAssignedDate/>
				</MessageID>
			</ListOfMessageID>
		</OrderNumber>

This is what I need the result to look like:

<Order>
	<OrderHeader>
		<OrderNumber>
			<BuyerOrderNumber>3</BuyerOrderNumber>
			<SellerOrderNumber/>
			<ListOfMessageID>
		<!-- nested MessageID elements -->
				<MessageID>
				<MessageID>
					<IDNumber/>
					<IDAssignedBy>
						<IDAssignedByCoded/>
						<IDAssignedByCodedOther/>
					</IDAssignedBy>
					<IDAssignedDate/>
				</MessageID>
				</MessageID>
			</ListOfMessageID>
		</OrderNumber>

The Solution from Michael Kay that follows duplicated the MessageID and
children:
<xsl:template match="MessageID">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
<!-- and again... -->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

The Solutions from Joerg adds a <MessageID/> element in place of the child
elements:
<xsl:template match="MessageID">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

The burning question is why do I want this.  We receive E-Procurement orders
in xCBL, cXML, etc.  We set up mapping in NetFish to our order response and
back-end.  When we start a new element map in NetFish (now Iona E2A
Integrator) we repeat element tags to show repeating groups of elements.

Thanks again for your help - I have tried so many ways to solve this without
manually adding the tags.
