xsl template match mode
Hi Joe,

Sorry to do it this way, but it was easier for me to rewrite the script than to debug it. I have once build a stylesheet that converts mapping rules into a xsl. This mapping definition contained a command to gather sequences of elements into a wrapper element. It is related to the sort grouping problem, but that doesn't help you if you have to interfere the wrapping at the encounter of a certain element and continue it afterwards.

Anyhow, I conceived some nice methods to just do the trick you are trying to do. In your case the code would look like the following. Note that I have wrapped you initial dataset in a DATA element. Msxsl seems to give the correct output.

Grtz,
Geert
