Yes, you may have to make eveything into a when clause.  You can't output </tr><tr> pairs based on the @wrap attribute, as its not well-formed xml.

One way to think of it (is as it actually happens I suppose), is that you are adding well-formed chunks of xml to the result tree, you are not inserting tags into a 'result string'.  You can only ever add well-formed xml to the result tree. (d-o-e aside)

So you have your source xml, which is parsed into a tree, your xslt stylesheet which is parsed into a tree, and your result tree, which is built by the xslt processor based on the rules in your stylesheet.  

You only have a string when the serliaser traverses the result tree and produces the string that is your output xml/html/text.

I hope that makes sense, 

cheers
