So why didn't I use xsl:copy? I started wondering why after I sent off this
post, so I went back to the beginning of the thread, he was having some sort
of problem when namespace nodes came up(just what wasn't clear to me) so I
figured I'd make an example showing some sort of prefix handling(even though
all it did was to concat the prefix back in and give you what you have
without doing anything with the prefix. )
