RE: [xsl] first of type element position

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(1) use <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> so that the first TOC.SECT element
is also the first node.

(2) use two template rules:

<xsl:template match="TOC.SECT[1]">
<xsl:template match="TOC.SECT">

The first one will match the first TOC.SECT, the second will match all the
others.
