You can simply devise an identity transformation in the xsl documnent and an extinction transformation - or nothing at all,say - herein-below, whereby when the root element's name or local-name match the target name, invoke the identity transformation, otherwise invoke the extinction transformation for parallelism. I use for the demo a param to store the target root local-name.

Upon re-reading my post, I seem to have forgotten to insert the xst
aram line as advertised. Here is a re-list.
