<xsl:copy-of select="* except X"/>
means "make an exact copy of all the children, except any child selected by
the expression X (which should not be copied at all).
I suspect you are misunderstanding it to mean "copy all the children,
modifying them as you do so to leave out any nodes selected by X".
Clearly that doesn't work: the select expression selects all the children,
then unselects some of them, then xsl:copy-of copies all those that remain.

XSLT/XPATH 2.0
Hi,
I'm trying to remove the h1 from my source with the "except"
and it doesn't work.
ex:<xsl:copy-of select="* except
(//xhtml:div[(_at_)class='border']//xhtml:h1)" />
When I do the same logic to class=border section it work??
<xsl:copy-of select="* except(//xhtml:div[(_at_)class='border'])" />
What I'm I missing, with the except for the removal of that
section h1???
Note: source code included.
Regards,
Michel
