I guess, like security best practices, my mindset is "don't

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.
Notice that this override of the built-in default template of David's also
has the effect of stopping processing of the tree for branches where it
matches (that is, for templates not matched by a "better" template). So
until he writes a template to match an element, that element and its
contents are now *suppressed* by default.
He could work in a somewhat less draconian fashion (at the cost of seeing
many more of these messages early on) if his template had:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:message>Unsupported element:
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:message>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
Finally, in order to see how this all hangs together one needs to
understand how the processor decides which template to use when several
templates match a node....
Cheers,
Wendell
