The identity transform is the answer here,
I'm curious if anyone could suggest a question or topic or
something such that I can have a page in the faq where 
use cases for the identity tranform is the answer.

Change a fraction of an input document, copy the rest.
Generate a stylesheet with templates for every unique element.
.. Others?

TIA, DaveP

    A software application I use produces XML documents with 
    inaccurate information. I need to change a few values 
    within the document and output the whole corrected document as XML.
    
    Two kinds of changes are necessary, both in nearly the same 
    place in the document structure:
    
    1. For each /AttributeProps/Datatype element with a value 
    of DATE, I need to change DATE to TIMESTAMP.
    
    2. For each  /AttributeProps/Order element, I need to take 
    whatever the value of Order is and then use that value to 
    replace the value of  /AttributeProps/PhysicalOrder.
    
    So if Order has the value 1, PhysicalOrder must have the 
    value 1 also. (This may already be true in many cases, but 
    I imagine there's no sense in testing that they're 
    equivalent. I would be just as easy to overwrite the value 
    of PhysicalOrder every time, wouldn't it?)
    
    So, basically, I need to change two types of things and 
    then copy over the entire XML document with the changes in 
    it. This would seem very simple, but I'm at a loss.
