Now I'm wide awake again :-)

It seems there could be a little problem.
The input contains

> >		<LOGINFO>
> >			<PERFORMANCE>32ms</PERFORMANCE>
> >		</LOGINFO>

whereas the output should look like

> >		<LOGINFO>
> >			<PERFORMANCE1>32ms</PERFORMANCE1>
> >			<PERFORMANCE2>45ms</PERFORMANCE2>
> >			<PERFORMANCE3>45ms</PERFORMANCE3>
> >		</LOGINFO>

There appear new elements with suffixes 1, 2, ...
My merge tool would probably give
> >		<LOGINFO>
> >			<PERFORMANCE>32ms45ms45ms</PERFORMANCE>
> >		</LOGINFO>
(Haven't tried it).

So it's not the perfectly fitting solution, but it could be a suggestion
to Mike.

Another note: the merge stylesheet merges arbitrary XML documents.
If one knows the XML structure then it could be done much simpler.

Cheers,
Oliver
