RE: [xsl] Small changes to source XML

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Write an identity template that copies everything:

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Then override it for the things you want to change:

<xsl:template match="a/@ID">
  <xsl:attribute name="ID">0</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
