Kevin: I don't understand your reaction to my stating that this is
obviously underspecified.

Meltem: If the suppositions Kevin has supplied are accurate then this
will work:

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="data/item">
        <xsl:if test="not(. = 'Solution')">
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
            <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
            <xsl:if test="position() = 4">
                <xsl:text>Solution </xsl:text>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Jim.
