Yes, I think I will stick to SAX for this part.

Its taken me about an hour to figure how your solution works (but it was good 
learning material for a newbie!).

Am I write in thinking that  the above match="sec" takes priority over the 
above  match="node()" and therefore ends the "copy-of" recursion, therefore 
sending you back to the

>                        mode="flatten" /> 

of
