Re: Find the node with maximum elements

I have a requirement to write a xsl transformation to find the node which has the maximum number of elements
...
The xsl should return Honda and Mitsubishi

T:\ftemp>type avaneesh.xml

    <Toyota>
          <Car>Camry</Car>
          <Car>Corrola</Car>
     </Toyota>
     <Honda>
            <Car>Accord></Car>
          <Car>Civic</Car>
          <Car>Pilot</Car>
     </Honda>
     <Mitsubishi>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
     </Mitsubishi>
    <Hyundai>
        <Car>Sonata</Car>
        <Car>Accent</Car>
</Hyundai>
