I think these examples will help, but I think perhaps you missed my point.

I am suggesting that you create a miniature example, with a tiny XML 
source file, and the associated FO file that you WANT. The tiny XML 
source file should illustrate the data you want to transform, and the 
tiny result file (FO in your case) should show what you want to 
create from THAT source XML file.

In your case, perhaps the XML source for those two cell, wrapped as 
needed to create a well-formed XML document, and the FO you want for 
those cells.

By providing a test case like this you make it far easier for people 
to know what you want to accomplish, and thus to give you advice. 
Without this, they have to guess what you data really looks like, or 
what you want your XML output to be.

Does that make sense?
