made one other reply a bit ago that may help explain the bit you where

on, but I'm pretty much ok with the way the grouping is currently working.

All is cool then.


The exception is the open question on  why I can't get the key to replace
the //dataset reference to work.  That's what I'll play with over the next
couple of days.  I may end up posting back to the list again, but I'm
starting to suspect there's a way to restructure the whole set of templates
to deal with the data with a different line of attack that may make the
whole issue go away...

Hm. Well, a suggestion you made in your last message has me a *bit* concerned ... it might have been a typo, but a match="data//*/*" is very different from a match="data/*/*" (the second, a grandchild element of a data element, the first, any element descendant of a data element that is at least a grandchild). You should be sure to check out the exact semantics of '//' if you don't know them, since they're non-obvious (although they work well once you get the hang of them).


If you are still mystified after a day or three of letting the grey matter work, post actual code. If necessary we can get out the heavy guns and see if Jeni wants to take a crack. :->

Cheers,
Wendell
