Re: node() implementation

In the first solution there is no code that will copy text nodes and the
value of attribute nodes to the result tree -- the template matching
"node()" is overriding the default rule for text nodes.

The main difference between the first template and the second is that the
latter matches only element nodes, leaving the default processing (copying
the text) of text nodes to the default rule. This is why the text of text
nodes is copied into the result tree.

Also, the template matching attributes has an explicit xsl:value-of, which
copies the value of the current attribute node to the result tree.


I hope this helped.
