I have reviewed w3c's XSLT docs and available examples and decided that
following construction better fit my requirements:

  <xsl:template match="descr">
    <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
  </xsl:template>

It copies whole node content to result tree ASIS.

BTW, another few questions:

1. is there any way to set variable with name defined at
runtime ? Something like:

<xsl:variable name='$var_name' select='xxx'/>

2. is there any way to change variable values ? XSLT specification
says that's not possible, but what about xsltproc implementation ?
