I have never done any XSLT programming before (have done some XPath though), but still thought I would give it a try. I have attached the XSL program and the output. The XSLT program is nowhere near finished, just a beginning to see if it is a path worth pursuing. And to get feedback... Besides the overly verbose syntax, I did not feel like XSLT were a good match for the task. It was hard to factor out common patterns - aka. the composability of XSLT seems poor. But this may just be my lack of experience with XSLT. If I could have done something smarter I am all ears. I used to Saxon 8.8J for processing. Greetings, Mads Lindstrøm
