Then don't copy it (you're copying it with <xsl:copy> at the moment).

Note that in the above you're only copying *element* children of the
<mytag> element, but you've said that you want to get the *text*node*
children as well. In that case, the following might be more suitable:

<xsl:template match="mytag">
  <xsl:copy-of select="node()" />
</xsl:template>

I'm not sure what you want to do about the attributes. If you have:

  <mytag attr1="aaa">blabla <foo>some text</foo> blabla</mytag>

what do you want to generate?

Cheers,

Jeni
