[...] my "true" identity template for XSLT 2.0,

The "true identity template" (an xslt stylesheet of
several templates) is 500 lines long!

But this seems more like:

    cp orig.xml copy.xml        # UNIX
    copy orig.xml copy.xml      # Windows

Of course, you'd add your modifications, which you
can't do with filesystem utilities.

But this verbatim identity approach bypasses the XDM
(XPath Data Model), which XSLT operates on. It loads
the input as unparsed text and implements a new parser
using string operations.

Is it, then, still XSLT?
