RE: [xsl] a Real Quickie

I would use identity template and include an empty override for non-empty ME 
elements:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="ME[not(node())]"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
