Hi Dimitre,

In this and similar problems one can re-use the identity transformation,
which processes strictly one node at a time (would a native English
speaker, please, suggest a good name? The best I could arrive at was "one
node at a time identity transformation"):
I have been known to refer to this as the "step-wise identity transform",
which a native English speaking XSLT expert would probably understand as
referring to the beast, but which uses a neologism, "step-wise". If you
wanted to avoid the fancifulness and irony of neologisms for descriptive
names (I admit my irony is often too dry, and Dimitre you can mail me off
list to explain what I mean by *that* ;-), you could call it the
"step-by-step identity transform" or even the "one-node-at-a-time" identity
transform (yes), or "node-by-node" identity transform, and that would be
fine. Not very technical, but fine.
But other English speakers may have other ideas of their own. (That's part
of the fun of English.)
Cheers,
Wendell
