Sure.  Within a template for the parent of the TrafficType element
(i.e. the CIM_ActiveConnection element), first apply templates to the
TrafficType element, and then to the TrafficType element's child
TrafficTypeValueMap elements:

<xsl:template match="CIM_ActiveConnection">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="TrafficType" />
   <xsl:apply-templates select="TrafficType/TrafficTypeValueMap" />
</xsl:template>

Now, within the template for the TrafficType element, you want to copy
the element itself and its attributes, but leave the content empty:

<xsl:template match="TrafficType">
   <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Within the TrafficTypeValueMap template, you want to make a complete
copy of the element:

<xsl:template match="TrafficTypeValueMap">
   <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

The secret is in applying templates to the nodes that you want to
process, and in having templates for those nodes do what you want them
to do.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
