Thank you, Dimitre, for taking the time to polish up the data ... I 
didn't have the time.

I implemented the untested code from yesterday and found that Ihe's 
use of the descendent:: axis was insufficient to detect differences 
between two siblings.  That was easily corrected in the XSLT 2.0 
solution below that produces the identical serialized result as yours.

I hope this helps readers of the archive.
