[xsl] Re: Re: Re: Converting specific child elements into attriutes of parent

["Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

I copied and pasted the xslt code from your last message.

The transformation performs OK with Saxon 6.5.3, Saxon 7.7, Msxml3, Msxml4,
XalanJ 2.4.1, XalanC 1.5, MS .Net xsltTransform.

This means that you're using a buggu XSLT processor.

Why don't you use one of the listed above?
