Tempore 22:00:06, die 02/14/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com scripsit Karl Stubsjoen <kstubs(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com>:

Given the following XML:
<DATA>
        <FOO cat="BLUE"></FOO>
        <FOO cat="BLUE"></FOO>
        <FOO cat="RED">
                <FOO cat="PINK"></FOO>
                <FOO cat="GREEN"></FOO>
                <FOO cat="BLUE"></FOO>
        </FOO>
        <FOO cat="BLUE"></FOO>
        <FOO cat="YELLOW"></FOO>
        <FOO>on you!</FOO>
</DATA>

This:
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)cat][not(@cat='BLUE')]"/>

Produces:

<DATA>
  <FOO cat="BLUE" />
  <FOO cat="BLUE" />
  <FOO cat="BLUE" />
  <FOO>on you!</FOO>
</DATA>

I don't want the <FOO>on you!</FOO> match.
However, I don't understand how the root element was picked up, I

Sorry, I misread your previous mail about 'FOO'

Solution:
<xsl:template match="FOO[not(@cat='BLUE')]"/>
