I think I understand the process a bit better, and hopefully my terminology will improve over time!

Just remember you aren't modifying anything, you are constructing a single result while processing one or many sources.


One last question - If I wanted to get the attribute applied to only specific elements within the node, woudl I be better with a xsl:choose? or a select?

Again, I'm lost on your use of the standardized terminology: when you say "get", at which node are you and what do you want to do when you "get" the attribute? When you say "specific elements within the node", elements can only be "within" other elements, and they can be children or descendants? The use of <xsl:choose> is for deciding between alternative construction components for the result tree ... I'm not sure what that has to do with your context since you haven't described your context.


It really isn't clear what your question is, so I cannot answer it.

Can you try again?
