yes
If you have this template:
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" priority="-1">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select"@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:template>
it should pick up all templates that are not catered for by another
template and copy them over.
Cheers.

I'm doing XML to XML transformation (newbie when it comes to XML and XSLT)
Say I have an XML document like this
<element1 att1="a" att2="b">
<element11>text1</element11>
</element1>
<element2>text2</element2>
</root>
I want to delete att1 and att2 from element1 so that output will look like this:
<root>
<element1>
<element11>text1</element11>
</element1>
<element2>text2</element2>
</root>
I could write a template that call <xsl:copy-of select=3D"..." to basically copy everything except the two attributes there. But this is just small examples, with more complex XML files, where I want to delete things here and there, this becomes unscalable (the problem applies to both attributes elements, and text, not just attributes)
Basically what I want to do is to have a template for each element/attribute that I want to "not copy" (delete), for ex:
<xsl:template match=3D"root/element1/@att1"/>
(doing nothing, essentially not copying the attribute over)
Since the built-in templates for everything else do not copy the element
nodes over (only text nodes are output), I have to provide templates for
the rest to copy them over (not sure how to do this effectively, either),
which is not very efficient.
So my question comes down to:
Can I provide rules for each of the thing I want to "delete", and then have one template to copy over everything else
