That is the same as //Product/(.|*) although do you really need to 
search the entire document with // for product, or is it always at the 
top of your file. Your code below does for-each starting from here so it 
appears to be expecting to llop over the children of product, so i 
suspect this line should be
<xsl:for-each select="//Product">

   this test is always true as position() is always an integer greater 
than zero, for all documents.

this would list the names of the attributes (in an arbitrary order) but 
your sample input has no attributes

here you prpbably just want <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
to insert a newline rather than a newline and some indentation space 
copied from the stylesheet.

again this would list any attributes if you had them.

         The above for-each (which was the xslt 1 way) can be more 
simply written as
<xsl:value-of select="*" separator="$delimiter"/>

again just use ,xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text> if you want to insert just a 
new line and no spaces.
