Hi,
I'm attempting a simple (!) xsl transformation, taking an input xml document, adding elements, and outputting an exact copy with the added element data.
For this I apply a template to insert the required element data and perform an identity transformaion to copy all remaining information from the input xml.
However, the identity transformation is dropping some text from first level elements and I just can't find the 'magic formula' in the identity transformation to prevent this. Please help!!
Input xml:

XSL:
All I'm doing is adding elements to the metadata tag and copying everything else across, the xsl is currently:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">
<!-- Standard matching to root element. -->
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:template match="metadata">

HELP!!:
Any help would be much appreciated, I've tried lots of various identity transformations all with the same result, so please anyone who really knows there stuff enlighten me!!
All of the following transformation permutations give the same result:
<!--
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</xsl:template>-->
<!-- IdentityTransform -->
<!--<xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>-->
<!--
<xsl:template match="/">

</xsl:template>-->
<!-- XSLT Template to copy anything, priority="-1" -->
<!--<xsl:template match="/|*|@*|node()|@*/node()" priority="-1">
