thx for all the help, by top level i quess i meant not having to do a 2 
pass solution.

As we are on discussing XSLT1.1, here is a slight suggestion.

why not add a lang attribute to <xsl:document> which performs lang test 
filter for output

<xsl:document href="test.html" method="html" lang="en">
</xsl:document>

i think all too often that seriously dealing with multiple languages is 
akin to writing printer device drivers,
incredibly important, overlooked, and usually done by very few people; 
but used by everyone.

I would like to see a bit more language support within future versions 
of XSLT.

any comments ?

cheers, jim fuller
