Thank you, Michael and Liam, for pointing out the redundancy of my ways. My XSLT is now leaner and cleaner. --Jack LSI, Inc.

If you remove the apply-templates, you get <xsl:template match="text()" mode="func"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> Which is the default template for text nodes, so it does no harm to delete the whole thing, with this one <xsl:template match="*" mode="func"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="func"/> </xsl:template> This template rule does nothing useful because it's the default template for element nodes. So you've deleted one redundant template rule and added another redundant template rule, and the net effect, unsurprisingly, is that your code still works.
