I've aways considered the "Modified Identity" pattern to be
the identity template that walks the following sibling axis:
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
I usually use "modified identity transform" to mean an identity template
supplemented by additional templates for specific nodes" - but of course the
term is very general and could mean anything.
The pattern above is one I usually refer to as "sibling recursion". Since
that also covers use of any templates in a sibling-based tree walk, it
should perhaps be "sibling recursion using identity template".
I don't think you should be mixing "node()" and "*" like that...
