  In addition
to Mike's answer, the following is maybe more
idiomatic, but that's hard to
tell from the snippet of code you
provided:

    <xsl:template match="/">
....
       <xsl:apply-templates select="moxx:aaa/moxx:bbb"/>
       ....
</xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="moxx:bbb">
       <moxx:someelement>
<!-- or copy-of @*|node() ? -->
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</moxx:someelement>)
    </xsl:template>
