RE: [xsl] Regarding xsl transformation to xml tree

Firstly, this is a bad XML design. Mixed content should not normally be
used for data-oriented XML. It would be much better to use:

 	<plant species="maple">
 		<type>tree</tree>
 		<height>tall</height>
 	</plant>

or

 	<plant>
            <species>maple</species>
 		<type>tree</tree>
 		<height>tall</height>
 	</plant>

But if you can't change it, then use

<xsl:template match="plant">
 	<tr><td><value-of select="normalize-space(text())"/></td></tr>
</xsl:template>

to extract the child text node without getting all the descendant text
nodes.
