However, I think it only removes ednote when it is the root element of book.xml. The reason being that the effective mode deep-copies all nodes that are not matched, which means that when a match is not found, the whole subtree it copied and not processed further. I think the correction should be to change deep-copy to shallow-copy and the result of the transformation will be what it should be: ednote elements are removed. 88129 1 mike 2013-05-23 16:55:34 +0000 Agreed, this should be shallow-copy. 88130 2 mike 2013-05-23 17:01:17 +0000 Change has been applied.
