You do not want to change the original XML at all but you want to run a
transformation on it? Why that?
A transformation that does not change the structure of the XML is the
identity transformation
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Whether it makes much sense to send XML directly to the client I am not
sure however. If you have an ASP.NET form then that normally sends HTML
as text/html to the browser, and inserting some XML markup in HTML does
not really make sense.
