Maintenance XSL/XML default template. Was: Another XSL Stru cture/Template Problem...

Hi,

just consider the following case:
3 months later someone wants a new functionality and
adds a new tag XYZ to the DTD and to the XML.
What happens in this case for the xsl?

==>HERE               <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
<xsl:template match="HSDocumentation"/>
In this case the default template would match the tag XYZ.

<xsl:apply-templates select="HSString|HSDate|..."/>
In this case nothing happens to the output. The tag XYZ is ignored.

Or <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::HSDocumentation)]"/>
In this case the default template would match the tag XYZ.

I prefer the case which the new tag XYZ will be ignored.

Cheers,

Juergen

Problem of default templates.

Another problem i have is in the tree itself. Somehow, my xsl is 
putting descriptions of Data Containers e.g LookIn after its 
puts its 
name in the tree. I am not able to get rid of these 
descriptions. I do 
not want any
such
descriptions in the tree.

      <xsl:template match="HSDataContainerType">
              <b><img src="dcopenicon.gif"><xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></img><br /></b>
              <div style="margin-left: 3em;">
==>HERE               <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
              </div>
      </xsl:template>

you select all children. The description is selected, but not 
matched. Insert an empty template statement for HSDocumentation.

<xsl:template match="HSDocumentation"/>

And the text of the HSDocumentation will disappear.
Another possibility is to select not * but name all the
nodes which you want to process explicitly (HSString,...).
Of course you have to fill the ...

<xsl:apply-templates select="HSString|HSDate|..."/>

Or <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::HSDocumentation)]"/>
