Re: Merging adjacent nodes of same type

I ran the stylesheet that you posted on the xml you posted (after having
removed the \) and got what I thought was the answer you wanted:

$ saxon offset2.xml  offset2.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<text xmlns="http://www.aston.tv/schemas/Aston/Aston7">

   <offset xmlns="" 
 xmlns:aston="http://www.aston.tv/schemas/Aston/Aston7" x="0.2" y="0" z="0"/>
    Aston Broadcast Systems Ltd.
</text>

At least it's doing the adding up right. It's generating <offset in
probably the wrong namespace as you have a literal result element
<offset in the stylesheet in no-namespace, you want xmlns="....aston...
in the stylesheet, most likely.
