Re: Get the element to original position XSLT 1.0

The following stylesheet (seems like a naive algorithm for this
problem) seems to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

    <xsl:template match="chapter">
         <chapter>
	      <xsl:apply-templates/>
	 </chapter>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">
	 <xsl:copy>
	      <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
	 </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="footnote" />

   <xsl:template match="comment()">
	<xsl:variable name="commentFootnoteId"
select="substring-before(substring-after(., '&quot;'), '&quot;')" />
	<xsl:copy-of select="/chapter/footnote[@id = $commentFootnoteId]" />
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
