If it was working, I don't expect you would have posted this.
So it's presumably not working. What are the symptoms? It's much easier to
find a bug if you what the output is.

Subject: [xsl] naive identity transform question
I'm sure this is a very straightforward task, but I'm missing
something fundamental about the identity transformation.
I want to copy an xml file exactly except if nodeX lacks a
childY write element Y.
The consensus on the identity transform suggested something like this:
xsl file identity.xsl
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
xsl file intended transformation.xsl
<xsl:import href="identity.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="//snotes:SourceNote[not(snotes:sourceDate)]">
<xsl:element
name="sourceDate"><xsl:text>0000-00-00</xsl:text></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
IE: copy all elements complete, except where
//snotes:SourceNote has no snotes:sourceDate child. In that
case, write a snotes:sourceDate element with the value 0000-00-00.
Anyone willing to point out the obvious to the naive?
