Hi Eliot,
You would not have such big problems, in case Epic did not use
wrappers, but just a simple attribute belonging to their namespace.
Therefore, if I were in your place, I would try a two-phase approach:
1. Convert the Epic editor's markup into an intermediate one, where
changes are tracked in attributes (or why not even get rid completely
of Epic's "added value").
2. Perform my regular transformation on the standard XML structure
(just ignoring or copying the tracking attributes)
3. (Only if necessary) convert the result back to Epic's wrappers.
Or a similar approach would be to retrieve all Epic's elements (without
the nodes they wrap) in a separate document, in the original document
get rid of the wrappers, then perform the transformation.
To be able to do so it would be necessary to have a unique ID for every
wrapped node and to use this unique ID in an Epic element that wraps
the node that has this unique ID.
