I usually use "modified identity transform" to mean an identity template
supplemented by additional templates for specific nodes" - but of course the
term is very general and could mean anything.

The pattern above is one I usually refer to as "sibling recursion". Since
that also covers use of any templates in a sibling-based tree walk, it
should perhaps be "sibling recursion using identity template".

I don't think you should be mixing "node()" and "*" like that...
