Wow.. that is easy except that I do not understand your notice
explanation... the difference between your not( ... ) and your !=. I
do not see how they would match any differently. You are saying that
the one in your example only evaluate to true when a cat attribute
exists and not equal to BLUE but in the case where you use the NOT
operand that then this evaluates to true when there is only... UGGG!
I can't even ask the question!! : )
So what is the difference then? I don't get it.

In the below sample, i'm interested in the "BLUE" categories. I still
want to bring back the original XML source but omit everything not
"BLUE". See the FOO cat="GREEN", it contains a cat="BLUE"... of
course I would not expect to return this element since the parent
element cat is "GREEN".
Just insert an empty template that matches all non-BLUE elements:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)cat != 'BLUE']"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
(notice that "*[not(@cat='BLUE')]" would not work because the root element
(without a 'cat' attribute) would then never be copied, neither would its
children)
