[xsl] Grouping in XSL

[GORDIST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have only been using XSL for the past few months and am having trouble
trying to group certain elements or attributes together while at the same
time summing up their values.  Here is a sample of the XML that we are
using:

<cmsParent xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
parentShortDesc="FIN_INFO_SERVICES" parentLongDesc="Financial Information
Services">
    <node nodeShortDesc="001010" nodeLongDesc="Annual Meeting" partitionKey
="CST200304200304A001ECORP" costDom="ECORP" from_dt="2003-04-01" adjdate=""
adjindic="N">
       <actv actvShortDesc="PERFORM STRAT INIT" actvLongDesc="Perform
Strategic Initiatives">
          <dimensions>
            <prod prodShortDesc="xyz" prodLongDesc="XYZ Corporation" />
            <cust prodShortDesc="abc" prodLongDesc="ABC Corporation" />
            <chan prodShortDesc="zzz" prodLongDesc="ZZZ Corporation" />
            <comp prodShortDesc="003" prodLongDesc="Nationwide Property" />
            <mthCost>500.00</mthCost>
            <ytdCost>1000.00</ytdCost>
          </dimensions>
          <dimensions>
            <prod prodShortDesc="xyz" prodLongDesc="XYZ Corporation" />
            <cust prodShortDesc="abc" prodLongDesc="ABC Corporation" />
            <chan prodShortDesc="zzz" prodLongDesc="ZZZ Corporation" />
            <comp prodShortDesc="002" prodLongDesc="Nationwide Life" />
            <mthCost>1000.00</mthCost>
            <ytdCost>2000.00</ytdCost>
          </dimensions>
       </actv>
    </node>
</cmsParent>

The output needs to look like this:

actvShortDesc:          Perform Strategic Initiatives

Product                 Current Month           Year to Date
XYZ Corporation   1500.00                 3000.00

Customer          Current Month           Year to Date
ABC Corporation   1500.00                 3000.00

Channel           Current Month           Year to Date
ZZZ Corporation   1500.00                 3000.00

Company           Current Month           Year to Date
Nationwide Property     500.00                  1000.00
Nationwide Life         1000.00                 2000.00

Any help would be much appreciated on this topic.

Thanks, Todd Gordish
