Many thanks for that.  It looks like a lot more elegant solution.

Ok, one final question for today.

I want to be able to create a variable (generally boolean), give it a 
value at one point in the template and then further down in the 
template check the value of the variable and modify the output.

I see that there is an xsl:variable element, but haven't found any 
examples of it's use.

Some pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
