.SS Identity template
.PP
The \-i option includes an "identity" template in to each stylesheet
specified with the \-s option.
The template is equivalent to this XSL:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
<xsl:template\ match="\@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply\-templates\ select="\@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
\f[]
.fi
.PP
This means that any attributes or nodes which are not matched by a more
specific template in the user\-specified stylesheet are copied.
