Re: [xsl] flattening an xml hierarchy

[Tim <timlhunt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought a simple example would be able for me to extrapolate to one 
with namespaces. When I run your transform with
   <xsl:template match="GetNextDocumentResponse | GetNextDocumentResult 
| Document">
replacing
  <xsl:template match="Dontwant1 | dontwant2">

I get the unwanted elements as well.


I am looking to remove the top three elements of the below [accurate] 
example:
<GetNextDocumentResponse xmlns="http://www.BargeEx.com/BargeExService";>
   <GetNextDocumentResult>Success</GetNextDocumentResult>
   <Document>
       <EquipmentStatusDocument 
xmlns="urn:x12:schemas:BEX200808:StatusDocuments">
           <DocumentHeader/>
           <DocumentDetail>
            ....
           </DocumentDetail>
           </DocumentHeader/>
       </EquipmentStatusDocument>

Thanks, again.
Tim
