Thank you everyone for your posts.

The solution from Charles Knell is close to what I need. The output has 2 problems:

1. The attribute xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" is now included with each element. (FYI, the flat xml document I start with is created from an sql "for xml auto" command in a template file launched by VB).

2. The data grouped in the new tags repeats after the tag (except for the first element in the group).

For example, (snippet): ------------------------------------- <ADDRESS> <street xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">35 Main Street</street> <city xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">Moosejaw</city> <country xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql"y>Saskatchewan</country> <postal_code xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">TOEOPO</postal_code> </ADDRESS> MoosejawSaskatchewanTOEOPO ------------------------------------

To clear up Antsnio's question, the following is needed as David said:

<xsl:template match="id|type|count|language">
   <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

> Yes, but isn4t that the default template beahviour?
No, the default templates never produce elements in the result, they
just recursively process the children meaning that a stylesheet with no
templates will extract all the text content of an xml file, discarding
any element markup.
