If I have a custom tag and I do:

Did you create an identity template that copied everything? Most
Yes. I have the standard "Identity Transform" template that copies
everything.
likely this is the case. Make it explicit that you don't want to copy
it:
Rather I want to skip that tag and apply-templates on everthing
enclosed *within* that tag. For that, adding /* appears to work:
<xsl:apply-templates select="mytag/*"/>
Is this the proper expression or should it be "@*|node()" or what?
Depends on your case, personally I wouldn't even use that. If it's
behavior you always want to occur, don't rely on the select, use
something like the below.
<xsl:template match="mytag">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
That way, if you call <xsl:apply-templates /> somewhere you don't have
to worry about if there is a mytag element in there or not.
Ah, yes. This is what I want. I see now that the Identity transform is
copying it so I just need to provide a separate template that doesn't.
Thanks,
Mike
