Summary:
I want to use XHTML as input and output, and in the process convert one tag from one format to another, while keeping the rest of the file intact. Is this possible?

Hi,

perfectly possible. you have to use the 'xsl:copy' element instead of the 'xsl:copy-of' element.
e.g. try this stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:template match="reference">
<!--
Lots of nested choose when/otherwise elements. "reference" is the custom element I want to transform to
regular hyper links.
-->
</xsl:template>

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

</xsl:stylesheet>

I was hoping that, since the reference template is the first from top to bottom, it would get processed first.
The document order of templates has nothing (or extremely little) to do with the order in which they are processed.
