bbbbbbHey folks,

bbbbbbI just wanted to report back that the solution provided by
Dimitre Novatchev with the addition suggested by Martin Honnen worked
beautifully for me, tested successfully and integrated nicely into the work I
was modifying.

             Thanks to both Dimitre and Martin especially, but also to
everyone - of course - for the helpful suggestions and quick responses.

             - Matt Van Voorhies

Well said, Wendell. I'm often frustrated when people don't specify their
requirement precisely and unambiguously, instead simply describing one example
of an input document and saying how that one speciment should be handled.

But this is absolutely normal and we all do it all the time.

In fact, I think it would be fair to say that much of the success of XSLT is
that the processing model works very well in this scenario where there is a
progressive understanding of the requirements as development proceeds.
