How to Use XSL to publish entire XML node, including tags, to HTML?
I want to publish everything in the <border ID="top"> node of the XML Document below to html using the xsl sytlesheet below, including the tags. As it is now, I have three borders hard coded into the xsl document, and I'm going to have at least 10 different xsl files, so it's much easier to edit the XML than cut and paste ad infinitum. What is the easiest and/or best way to use the xsl to do this?

I realize there are other ways to do this by making the XML Doc a little more normal, but the XML is well-formed and if it could be done, it would be a tremendous timesaver. I doubt I could write a DTD or schema for it, though.
