The following stylesheet (seems like a naive algorithm for this
problem) seems to work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="chapter">
<chapter>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</chapter>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="footnote" />
<xsl:template match="comment()">
<xsl:variable name="commentFootnoteId"
select="substring-before(substring-after(., '"'), '"')" />
<xsl:copy-of select="/chapter/footnote[@id = $commentFootnoteId]" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hello all,
I've a requirement wherein I am moving all the text footnotes to endnotes,
which I done in the following manner:
<chapter>
<section>
<p>XXXX
<footnote id="fn0010"><label>1</label><p>footnote 1</p></footnote>
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<footnote id="fn0015"><label>1</label><p>footnote 2</p></footnote>
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<footnote id="fn0020"><label>1</label><p>footnote 3</p></footnote>
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<footnote id="fn0025"><label>1</label><p>footnote 3</p></footnote>
XXXX</p>
--------
--------------
</section>
</chapter>
I've been able to move all my footnotes at the end as below, while keeping
the flag (comment <footnote> elements) for reverting bak to orininal xml
<chapter>
<p>XXXX
<!--<footnote id="fn0010">-->
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<!--<footnote id="fn0015">-->
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<!--<footnote id="fn0020">-->
XXXX</p>
<p>XXXX
<!--<footnote id="fn0025">-->
XXXX</p>
<footnote id="fn0010"><label>1</label><p>footnote 1</p></footnote>
<footnote id="fn0015"><label>1</label><p>footnote 2</p></footnote>
<footnote id="fn0020"><label>1</label><p>footnote 3</p></footnote>
<footnote id="fn0025"><label>1</label><p>footnote 4</p></footnote>
</chapter>
All is well and fine till now, but now I am bit struggling with
re-transforming back. I understand that I need to match @id of commented
text <footnote> with the moved <footnote id="fn0010"> to get at the right
position.
<xsl:template match="comment()">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring(.,2,8)='footnote'">
<!-- do something here -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:comment><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:comment>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Anybody can throw some idea to get it done. I am definitely missing
something.
TIA,
Pankaj
