(actually I do have ___lots__ of such stuff as the output from my xquery to xslt translator, as basically that's the way xquery works, with selection and node generation much more closely intertwined than usual in xslt. > That's often true.

I don't think you can possibly give a warning about empty templates; it's a very common design idiom: If you are trying to prune a tree, start off with the identity template then add empty templates to lop off branches. this I do _by hand_ all the time. Looking in my standard working directory (for real code not sample answers as posted here) $ grep "<xsl:template[^<>]*/>" *.xsl | wc -l 351 so that's at least 351 uses of this, I don't want to get warned about those, I put them there on purpose...
