RE: Element Text

[Kay Michael <Michael dot Kay at icl dot com>]

Try:

<xsl:template match="runmode[@name='debug']">
    start:
       <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
    end:
</xsl:template>

The description of xsl:copy-of is notoriously misplaced in the spec, I think
it was originally designed to do a much more specialised job and then
generalised later, so it's not surprising you failed to spot it.
