RE: select name of element / deal with embedded for-ea

xsl select name
If you know that each <INDEX> will have the same children in the same order
then this is reasonably easy (even if you don't know what the children will
be):

<xsl:template match="SOURCES">
<xsl:variable name="rows" select="SOURCE/INDEX"/>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="SOURCE/INDEX[1]/*>
  <tr>
    <xsl:variable name="col" select="name()"/>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="$col"/></td>
    <xsl:for-each select="$rows">
       <td><xsl:value-of select="*[name()=$col]"/></td>
