The problem with this is that only elements OR attributes are stripped but not
both at the same time.
Assume the following XML source:
<ns11:elem1 myattr="">
<ns22:subelem2 />
<ns22:subelem3></ns22:subelem3>
</ns11:elem1>
Then applying the XSLT script below will result in
<ns11:elem1>
</ns11:elem1>
As you can see the ns11:elem1 persists.
It is handled only in the remove attribute template and does not match the
other remove-empty-element template.
So how can I iteratively/recursively re-apply the script/templates on the
result again?
XSLT script:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="@*[normalize-space(.)='']"/>
<xsl:template match="*[not(node())]"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

How can I delete empty attributes as well?
