RE: [xsl] Newline problems

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

The info element does not appear to have any text node children, so
applying templates to them is not going to do much good.

You are only outputting the content of atomicValue if it has a ../name
whose value is "ponumber". But in your example, the name is
"[NL]ponumber". You haven't attempted to remove the newline before doing
the comparison.

You might be better off doing a separate pass to clean up this data
before you attempt to transform it. Either that, or tell the people who
generated it to mend their ways...
