RE:  output node-set
Oh, I forgot to mention why it isn't working.

 <xsl:when test="'self::dig'">
 <xsl:copy-of select="dig[node()]"/>
 </xsl:when>

This converts the string 'self::dig' to a boolean, which is always true
because the string isn't empty. You meant test="self::dig". It then looks
for a child of the dig element called dig, and doesn't find one, so outputs
nothing.
