Not necessarily, it's just where it sits in the document I am trying to 
work replicate.

Ploughing through the archives, I am starting to realise that the XSLT 
will not be able to do all that I want (since I cannot reset variables, 
etc) so I think that the best thing for me is to break things down a 
bit so that any programming style logic is handled in programming code 
before I do the transformation.

As Jeni has pointed out in an answer to a related question..

This way I just need to check the values in the XML files, which will 
make things a lot easier.
