You can't generate this with XSLT:

transactions = "1" , "2">

as its not well-formed XML (I know its most likely a typo)

Also its not clear from your output what the requirements of the
transform are - for example the outermost <tag>.  I can imagine that
if someone posted a solution you would quickly reply with "yes it
worked with the sample input I showed you but it doesn't work with my
real input...."
