<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:NS="http://www.verizon.com/VOSE/ServiceOrders">

<!-- PURPOSE OF THIS XSLT is to Copy all BUT selected NODES from XML -->

<!-- Identity transformation for the document. -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

 <!-- Don't do any processing when we find this node. -->
 <xsl:template match="NS:NON_PROVISIONABLE_WITHOUT_INSIDE_ACCESS"  />

</xsl:stylesheet>
