It's not truly an identity transform, because it's not selecting
attribute nodes for processing; attributes are effectively being
ignored.
I can do it with an xsl:if inside, but is there anything more elegant than
this:
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:if test="not(self::processing-instruction() or self::comment()">
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*|@*|text()"/>
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()|comment()"/>
