RE: Concatenating the attribute values of ancestors

Thanks Mike for your help. I changed the stylesheet as
below. I have now introduced another parameter to the
named template called "element", which is the context
node during each recursive call. 

But I don'nt know if my stylesheet will help the
original poster.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
  
<xsl:template match="node() | @*" priority="5">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>    
  
<xsl:template match="*" priority="6">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
      <xsl:attribute name="newSeq">
        <xsl:call-template
name="concatenate-ancestor-attributes">
           <xsl:with-param name="attr_value"
select="''" />
           <xsl:with-param name="element" select="."
/>
           <xsl:with-param name="ancestors"
select="ancestor::*" />
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
  
<xsl:template name="concatenate-ancestor-attributes">
    <xsl:param name="attr_value" />
    <xsl:param name="element" />
    <xsl:param name="ancestors" />
    
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$element/parent::*">
        <xsl:call-template
name="concatenate-ancestor-attributes">
	  <xsl:with-param name="attr_value"
select="concat($attr_value, $element/parent::*/@seq)"
/>
	  <xsl:with-param name="element"
select="$element/parent::*" />
	  <xsl:with-param name="ancestors"
select="$element/ancestor::*" />
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$attr_value" />
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
  
</xsl:stylesheet>
