And now for a second answer....
Mulberry Technologies (the folks who host this list) has a very good quick
ref sheet for XSLT and XPath:

It is definitely worth getting to know well.

RE: [xsl] Transform XML to XML
Thanks.
I'm still confused by ".", "*", "node()", etc. I've read all the
definitions, but somehow I can't grok them. Any thoughts?

I guess, like security best practices, my mindset is
"don't
allow it unless I explicitly ask for it."
But I guess it doesn't work that way so I shouldn't fight
it.
I typically begin every stylesheet with a template that looks like
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:message>Unsupported element: <xsl:value-of
select="name()"/></xsl:message> </xsl:template>
and so have to keep adding templates until my stylesheet stops moaning
on all test cases.
