Just a soot from the hip: modify your template to match
elements which have a child with an appropriate attribute.
Note that your spec is somewhat incomplete, it's not
quite obvious what should happen to siblings of elements
with a style="strip" attribute. The template will strip
them too:
          <xslt:template match="*[*/@style='strip']">
                  <xslt:value-of select="."/>
          </xslt:template>
This should work for your sample XML.


Thanks for your reply. 

I managed to work out something similar just before I got your email -
but you confirmed that it was the right way to go about it. And yes,
siblings are supposed to be stripped out as well (although it's a bit
more complicated than that, I just dummied down the specs so I could at
least get a base answer and work from there).

Cheers
Derek
