Re: [xsl] Remove internal parsing and exclude one child

Thank you Graydon and Martin! These both work perfectly, and it's kind of neat 
to see the rather different approaches to the same issue. I groped along each 
path before asking for help.

Martin, regarding XSLT 1.0 and Saxon 9, I was mixing concerns. I'm using Saxon 
on my own machine, but the environment where this might be used currently is 
limited to 1.0.

Thanks,
Charles

<xsl:template match="aff">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
        <xsl:for-each select="descendant-or-self::text()[not(parent::label)]">
             <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

XSLT 1.0 makes this harder by having odd rules about only taking the first text 
node; that select in a value-of doesn't work.
