XSLT Remove Node by Attribute

I'm trying to figure out how to do an XSLT transformation to remove certain nodes from an XML file based on specific attribute matches within a node.

Here is the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
<out id="100" />
<out id="101" />
<out id="102" />
<out id="103" />
</body>

Say I want a new XML file that would exclude the nodes with id="101" and id="103".

Desired Output:

<body>
<out id="100" />
<out id="102" />
</body>

How would I do this with XSLT?

Thank you!

Well, you would start with an identity transformation. Then add templates that match the nodes you want to delete, and have those templates not do anything with them.

You can find the identity transformation in the XSLT Recommendation.

I've been playing around with this but I'm not seeing what I'm expecting.

Are web browsers (e.g. IE7, Firefox 2.0) capable of displaying transformed XML?

I believe they are, but I haven't used the feature myself. Would you like to describe your problem a bit more?

I didn't have any luck viewing transformations in IE7 - it would only show the original XML file. However, Firefox 2.0 worked when I installed an extension to "View Transformed XML Source".

Maybe the browsers only show XML > HTML transformations?
