RE: [xsl] Combining two node Sets into one

["Williamson, Chris" <cwilliamson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Figured I would post the solution that finally created my output.  Any
comments are welcome.. As I'm sure this is not the greatest solution.
These are just the two main templates/for-each.  The "bottom" template that
is called just prints a bottom to the row that contains some form
components. 

<xsl:for-each select = "$uniqueCodes">
	<xsl:variable name = "sumOfDisb" select = "sum(../../CAProgram[@code
=
current()]/AwdDetail/AwdSchools/AwdSchool/AwdTerm/Disbs/DisbDetail/DAmount)"
/>
				<xsl:variable name = "sumOfRef" select =
"sum(../../CAProgram[@code =
current()]/AwdDetail/AwdSchools/AwdSchool/AwdTerm/Refunds/RefDetail/RAmount)
"/>
				<xsl:apply-templates select =
"../../CAProgram[@code = current()]/pathreplaced/DisbDetail |
../../CAProgram[@code = current()]/pathreplaced/RefDetail">
					<xsl:sort select = "RDate | DDate"/>
				</xsl:apply-templates>
			    <xsl:call-template name = "bottom">
    				<xsl:with-param name = "totalDisb" select =
"$sumOfDisb - $sumOfRef"/>
    			</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:for-each>


<xsl:template match = "/fullpathreplaced/DisbDetail |
/fullpathreplaced/RefDetail">
        	<xsl:param name = "sumOfDisb"/>
        	<xsl:param name = "sumOfRef"/>
        	<tr>
        		<xsl:choose>
        			<xsl:when test = "position() = 1">
   						<td class = "bg_1">
 
<strong><xsl:value-of select = "../../../../../../@code"/></strong>
   						</td>
   					</xsl:when>
   					<xsl:otherwise>
   						<td>&#160;</td>
   					</xsl:otherwise>
   				</xsl:choose>
   				<xsl:if test = "local-name() =
'DisbDetail'">
    				<td class = "bg_1" align =
"right"><xsl:value-of select = "DAmount"/></td>
    				<td class = "bg_1" align =
"center"><xsl:value-of select = "DDate"/></td>
    			</xsl:if>
    			<xsl:if test = "local-name() = 'RefDetail'">
    				<td class = "bg_1" align =
"right"><xsl:value-of select = "concat('(-) ', RAmount)"/></td>
    				<td class = "bg_1" align =
"center"><xsl:value-of select = "RDate"/></td>
    			</xsl:if>
   			</tr>
	</xsl:template>

Who should I sue for my wasted time? ;)

No, writing pipelines of simple transformations is in general an excellent
way of breaking up a problem into simple reusable parts. Your instincts were
right. It's just a darned nuisance that XSLT 1.0 doesn't support this
approach properly.
