RE: Strict sequential identity rule?

OK, Dimitre, I give up. I know you've got a rabbit up your sleeve, and I
can't ferret it out.

I was thinking the catch might be that a node produced by copying can never
be "identical" to the original, but I can't imagine that's what you had in
mind.

Subject: [xsl] Strict sequential identity rule?

Hi,
I think that trying to answer the following question can be 
interesting and
useful for the members of our community.

 Is the following statement true or false:

"The transformation below is an identity transformation":

 <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
      <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
      <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
              <xsl:copy>
                      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
                      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[1]"/>
              </xsl:copy>
              <xsl:apply-templates 
select="following-sibling::node()[1]"/>
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
