exclude nodes xsl for each
Hi Paul,
  Please also try this XSL.. You may like it..

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
  
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
  
<xsl:variable name="exclude"
select="document('exclude.xml')" />
  
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
  
<xsl:template match="*[@attr-name =
$exclude/exclude-list/exclude-attr]" />
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

This is a modified identity stylesheet.. The 2nd
template excludes those elements, whose attr-name
attribute has value matching that in exclude file..

I have found.. identity template is a really powerful
piece of code which lets us do complex things..

Regards,
Mukul
