This is not so difficult even to guess -- once you know that this is the
"identity transformation".

Identity is identity -- it must copy everything.

It seems to me that an XSLT processor that does not perform correctly the
identity transform (no offense, but this is difficult to believe)
demonstrates a complete lack of any testing...
