RE: [xsl] xsl: parsing through specific child nodes

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In your match="/" template, the only apply-templates is to an element called
"ret". There is no element named ret in your source document. Therefore the
template rule with match="*" will never fire, therefore the code that
replaces "PENDING" by "1" will not be executed.
