For example, the following is a complete xslt stylesheet that will
convert your <g><e>... input documemt to a series of record elements
with all attributes copied.
<records xsl:version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:for-each select="//e">
<xsl:element name="{ancestor-or-self::*[@ename][1]/@ename}">
<xsl:copy-of
select="ancestor-or-self::*/@*[not(name()='ename')] |
ancestor::*/gi/@*"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</records>
