Just remember you aren't modifying anything, you are constructing a single 
result while processing one or many sources.

Again, I'm lost on your use of the standardized terminology:  when you say 
"get", at which node are you and what do you want to do when you "get" the 
attribute?  When you say "specific elements within the node", elements can 
only be "within" other elements, and they can be children or 
descendants?  The use of <xsl:choose> is for deciding between alternative 
construction components for the result tree ... I'm not sure what that has 
to do with your context since you haven't described your context.

It really isn't clear what your question is, so I cannot answer it.

Can you try again?
