Thanks....That was exactly what I was looking for.
'A' wont be the document elements, and will be be a
normal kind of element. And it wont have nested
descendants :).

So in addition to the standard identity transform,
you want a template
that matches all nodes that have an A child.
Note that if A is the document element, then the
result will not be a
well-formed XML document.
e.g. the tree:
/
|
A
/ \
B C
Cannot be transformed into anything sensible - the
document node cannot
have a sibling. I presume you want to limit A to
being a child of an
element.
In which case you want a template something like:
<xsl:template match="*[child::A]">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<xsl:copy-of select="A"/>
</xsl:template>
Is A also to be only an element, or can it be some
other kind of node?
If you can have A's nested as descendants of A's,
then it will be more complicated.
