I suppose that the reason I hadn't considered the match="node()|@*"
template because I had thought of traversal logic as being "more specific"
than would be appropriate for a generic stylesheet.  I suppose if one
thinks of this as part of the library contract, that traversal is handled
by the generic stylesheet and you can override that if necessary, then
moving it would be appropriate.

I think I'll do that, then... Thank you. :)
