RE: Newbie question on XSL and lists

Michiel,
Try

<xsl:template match="par-f">
	<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="listing">
	<xsl:if test="./item">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="item" />
	</xsl:if>
	<xsl:if test="not() ./item">
		<xsl:message terminate="yes">ooops</xsl:message>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
	<xsl:if test="./par-f">
		*<xsl:apply-templates select="par-f"/>
	</xsl:if>
	<xsl:if test="not() ./par-f">
		<xsl:message terminate="yes">ooops</xsl:message>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

or something a bit like it. 
Beginner rule #1 *NEVER* use xsl:for-each

>     <item>
