With XSLT 1.0 you might be better off to write one stylesheet that adds empty elements as needed, then run your current stylesheet. Or just use brute force, for example as <xsl:template match="business"> <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/> <xsl:text> | </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="address"/> <xsl:text> | </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="url"/> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> </xsl:template> ... the principle being that this is a case where the output format does not reflect the input (either in which elements are present, or necessarily their order), but rather its own processing requirements irrespective of the organization of the input. In other words, pretty much, it's a pull not a push.
