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>

Cheers,
