Re: XSL Parent loop access?

  <xsl:if test="text=item/text"> does not work

well it works but it doesn't test what you want it to test: it tests
the string value of the first text element child of the current node
with the string value of the first text element grandchild of the
current node, but there are no such grandchildren as your subitem
elements do not have item children. So this latter string value is "".

The path from a subitem node to its sibling text node is ../text not
item/text so you want

  <xsl:if test="text=../text">
