Re: [xsl] Identity Tranlate, too many nested apply-templates

[Karl Stubsjoen <kstubs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Boing!  Of course that is the problem!
Here is the entire match template:

    <xsl:template match="Order">
        <xsl:element name="CustomerOrder">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="key('customer', CustomerID)" />
        <xsl:element name="Orders">
            <xsl:apply-templates select=". |
following-sibling::Order[CustomerID = current()/CustomerID]" />
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

Dohh!  Sometimes the obvious slips right through the fingers.  I'll
add "mode" to my identity-copy routine.
Thanks Martin.
