I'm not sure why that wouldn't work, but here's the identity template I use
in my stylesheets:
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
This was taken from the XSLT specification, it's called the "identity"
template. Like I said, I don't know why yours didn't work, but I've used
this one with Xalan before.
