[xsl] Gnumeric spreadsheet and XSLT stylesheet - oh my

I recently tried to write a simple XSLT stylesheet for some data that was in a Gnumeric spreadsheet.

I failed ... sigh
  and used some Java code to read the XML and output what I needed.

Has anyone worked with Gnumeric and XSLT?
  If so, could you give me a clue on how to generate columns of rows?

Some info.

http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/

Gnumeric saves spreadsheets in a zipped XML file. The cells have attributes that have the row and column numbers.

this is a snippit with the cells for row 80, col 0..5


<gmr:Workbook xmlns:gmr="http://www.gnome.org/gnumeric/v6";> <gmr:Sheets> <gmr:Sheet> <gmr:Cells> ... <gmr:Cell Col="0" Row="80" ValueType="60"> <gmr:Content>Gobbler</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> <gmr:Cell Col="1" Row="80" ValueType="60"> <gmr:Content>Batton</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> <gmr:Cell Col="2" Row="80" ValueType="60"> <gmr:Content>Peanut Pond</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> <gmr:Cell Col="3" Row="80" ValueType="60"> <gmr:Content>Morning</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> <gmr:Cell Col="4" Row="80" ValueType="30"> <gmr:Content>86</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> <gmr:Cell Col="5" Row="80" ValueType="30"> <gmr:Content>11</gmr:Content> </gmr:Cell> ...

I wanted columns in rows, like would be useful for a html table. I could not think of an easy way to get that with the info in the attributes with XSLT. I'm still not thinking in XSLT :-)
