WDDX Recordset generic simplification

I have an excerpt of a wddx data being generated from query data in
ColdFusion 5 and I need to simplify the structure with an intermediate
xsl transform so that I can consume the simplified form in a mail
merge system. I've looked on the list and I saw a post from 2000
(http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200005/msg00879.html)
and have implemented something similar, which only sort of works. As
you can see, the "structure" is correct, but the values are wrong. I'm
having trouble wrapping my head around the push approach, since the
mail merge system uses a pull approach, so I fear I am
over-complicating things. I may just need better search terms.

I'm using SAXON 6.5.3 via javax in a 1.4.2 java applet, (but not via
the XSLTProcessorApplet interface, ) so this needs to be  XSLT 1.0.
