Re: [xsl] to get the descendants at only one level - xpath

no it just selects child1 child2 child3, depending what you do with
child3 having selected it you may see the descendents.

so for example select="/root" just selects a single element, if you call
name() on it you just get a single string "root" but if you say
<xsl:copy-of select="/root"/>
you get the whole document tree back as child nodes are properties of an
element so the copied node has copies of the same children.

perhaps ypu want
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*/*"
  <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:for-each>

note that the selection is as previously suggested, but I'm guessing how
you want to use the selected nodes (using <xsl:copy/>) you haven't shown
how you have used them or what you want to generate, so I can only guess.
