Mea culpa!

This is actually what I am trying to do, and what I think the others'
solutions (Arnold, Mike) have not actually addressed (except for David's
suggestion to use saxon extensions). I do not attribute this to their lack
of knowledge, but rather to my not having exactly articulated what I need
to do -- thanks for doing so, Sara.

Arnold, Mike: if your solutions(s) DO in fact address "do blah
until you find the first foo where not bar" let me know -- I don't see how
they might do so.

David, I think you are correct that the saxon:while construct will do the
trick, but I would prefer a more global solution that does not require
that I use saxon. (However, this does validate my gut instinct to prefer
saxon over the other processors).

thanks,
