This is the third time today that we've suggested this:

Use the identity transform, as discussed in the XSLT spec under Copying:

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

This will result in a recursive copy of all nodes.

Add to it a template that matches the nodes you want to treat specially:

  <xsl:template match="XMI.content">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[not(self::foo)]"/>
    </xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="foo"/>
  </xsl:template>

In this case, you're excluding the 'foo' element chilren of the 'XMI.content'
element from being processed until after the copy of the XMI.content element
is made.
