Hi Steve,

Use the identity transformation for all elements except the ones you're
interested. That is, 

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

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

Cheers,
Dave.
