Re: [xsl] Remove internal parsing and exclude one child

["Charles O'Connor coconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Graydon and Martin! These both work perfectly, and it's kind of neat
to see the rather different approaches to the same issue. I groped along each
path before asking for help.

Martin, regarding XSLT 1.0 and Saxon 9, I was mixing concerns. I'm using Saxon
on my own machine, but the environment where this might be used currently is
limited to 1.0.

Thanks,
Charles

<xsl:template match="aff">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
        <xsl:for-each
select="descendant-or-self::text()[not(parent::label)]">
             <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

XSLT 1.0 makes this harder by having odd rules about only taking the first
text node; that select in a value-of doesn't work.
