A Customer of ours is completely changing their XML format.
The existing XSL(s) (2 of them, used on our iSeries to translate data) will not work with new XML format. Is there a fairly easy way to update my XSL(s) based on the new XML?
I'm attaching a .zip file that has the current and new XML, and also the XSL that is used on our iSeries to translate the data.
Forgot to mention that any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. I did not create the XSL stylesheets, rather only "tweak" them if I can. This is beyond me however.

The answer to "Is there a fairly easy way to" is that, well, it
depends. Since we have no concrete information, we can't guess.
Much would depend on how severely the target XML has been changed.
It's quite possible you could load the source XSLT along with the
new target DTD or XSD right into the XSLT Mapper, and just tweak
the diagram a little.
It would be helpful to know what you've tried so far, so we can
offer constructive comments on which direction to pursue without
wasting your time telling you what you already know :).
