sorry, I was under the impression that tag2 would always be text, and that text
would be having the default text() template.


Quoting David Carlisle <davidc(_at_)nag(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk>:


This is just a personal preference though. 

Not really, as it produces a different result. Sometimes you need one
of those results and sometimes the other.

you have

<xsl:template match="tag2" mode="copier">
<i><xsl:apply-templates/></i>
</xsl:template> 

which means tag2 gets turned into i but the contents of tag2 are not
copied they get the default mode applied (which presumably doesn't copy)

The originally proposed solution would be equivalent to


<xsl:template match="tag2" mode="copier">
<i><xsl:apply-templates mode="copier"/></i>
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
</xsl:template> 

which would change tag2 to i but recursively copy its content (except
for any nested tag2 elements of course).

I find that, normally, I'd want this second form.

David
