Hi Keith, you are right. Fortunately, I'd seen your comment before I started to try the trick... Are there any plans when the "container element feature" will be available? Thanks, Peter

You really doen't want to skip the name tag, you want to "unwrap" it and essentially pretend it's children occur where the name element occurs. We call this container elements. We have support for container objects right now, but not container elements. We are working on it. In the meantime, Arnaud's suggestion for XSLT transformation will do the trick.
