Re: [xsl] Get children and text, excluding a child

["Ryan Graham ryan.graham@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could also do an identity transform, omitting number elements with an
empty template match:

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>


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


<xsl:template match="number"/>


Thanks,
Ryan
