I have an xml like 

<xml>
   <Text>
       <body>
       <para type="new"> This para needs to be suppress </para> 
       <para type="old"> This is an old para </para> 
       </body>     
  </Text>    
</xml>

I want to suppress the body/para/@type=’new’ which I can do using following templete

<xsl:template match="para[@type='new']">
</xsl:template>

Having said that, I want to actually add another condition that if body does not contain any other element other then para/@type=’new’ then whole body element should be removed.

So 

 <xml>
   <Text>
       <body>
       <para type="new"> This para needs to be suppress </para> 
       </body>     
  </Text>    
</xml>

should return

<xml>
   <Text>
   </Text>    
</xml>

and 

<xml>
    <Text>
       <body>
          <para type="new"> This para needs to be suppress </para> 
          <para type="old"> This is an old para </para> 
       </body>     
    </Text>    
</xml>

should return

<xml>
   <Text>
       <body>
       <para type="old"> This is an old para </para> 
       </body>     
  </Text>    
</xml>

Any help or hint how to do that…

    How about one more template:

    <xsl:template match="Text[count(body/*) = count(body/para[@type = 'new'])]" />
