That is the same as //Product/(.|*) although do you really need to search the entire document with // for product, or is it always at the top of your file. Your code below does for-each starting from here so it appears to be expecting to llop over the children of product, so i suspect this line should be
<xsl:for-each select="//Product">




<xsl:if test="$fieldNames = 'yes'">


<xsl:if test="position() = 1 or position()&gt;1">
this test is always true as position() is always an integer greater than zero, for all documents.

<xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
this would list the names of the attributes (in an arbitrary order) but your sample input has no attributes
<xsl:value-of select="$delimiter"/>

</xsl:for-each>

          <xsl:for-each select="*">
            <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>

            <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
              <xsl:value-of select="$delimiter"/>
            </xsl:if>
          </xsl:for-each>
          <xsl:text>
        </xsl:text>
here you prpbably just want <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
to insert a newline rather than a newline and some indentation space copied from the stylesheet.
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:for-each select="@*">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        <xsl:value-of select="$delimiter"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
again this would list any attributes if you had them.
      <xsl:for-each select="*">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
          <xsl:value-of select="$delimiter"/>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each>
The above for-each (which was the xslt 1 way) can be more simply written as
<xsl:value-of select="*" separator="$delimiter"/>


      <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
again just use ,xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text> if you want to insert just a new line and no spaces.
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
