RE: Question about generating a full tree from a tree

The general model for this kind of problem is to use xsl:apply-templates
to process the tree recursively, in the normal way, except that at each
stage you select the logical children of a node rather than its physical
children. You can find the logical children using:

<xsl:key name="ref" match="ref" use="."/>

<xsl:template match="elem">
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('ref', @id)"/>
</xsl:template>

I haven't done anything here about the w,x,y,z in your problem, which I
don't think I understand.
