<xsl:template match="dsobjects|title|summary">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="prop">
  <dsobject type="Collection">
    <xsl:attribute name="handle">Collection-<xsl:value-of select="100 +
count(preceding-sibling::prop)"/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </dsobject>
</xsl:template>
