Thanks for the answer but it does'nt quite answer my question.
To make it clear This is my input xml.
<WEATHER_FORECAST>
    <CLOUD>   
      <QUANTITY>
        <AMOUNT>8</AMOUNT>
      </QUANTITY>
    </CLOUD>
    
    <TEMPERATURE>
      <QUANTITY>
        <AMOUNT>-1,7</AMOUNT>
        <UNIT/>
      </QUANTITY>
    </TEMPERATURE>
    <DURATION>
	</START_DATE_TIME>
	</END_DATE_TIME>
    </DURATION>
  </WEATHER_FORECAST>
Am trying to output some thing like this escaping the DURATION element and the root element tag <WEATHER_FORECAST> element.
<BODY>
   <CLOUD>   
      <QUANTITY>
        <AMOUNT>8</AMOUNT>
      </QUANTITY>
    </CLOUD>
    
    <TEMPERATURE>
      <QUANTITY>
        <AMOUNT>-1,7</AMOUNT>
        <UNIT/>
      </QUANTITY>
    </TEMPERATURE>
<BODY>
Using <xsl:copy-of select="node()[not(self::DURATION)]"/> escapes the DURATION element , but i get the root <WEATHER_FORECAST> tag. My question was how do i escape this. 
<xsl:copy-of select="*[not(self::DURATION)]/node() | node()[not(self::*)]"/> does'nt quite help, it knocks of all the <TEMPERATURE> , <CLOUD> tags but not the root tag.
thanks

Hi,

  <xsl:template match="/*">
    <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
  </xsl:template>

> Currently am using <xsl:copy-of

I'm not sure if this is what you mean,

  <xsl:copy-of select="*[not(self::DURATION)]/node() | node()[not(self::*)]"/>
