RE: processing different nodes

I'm sure someone, probably Jeni, will come up with a splendid XSLT solution
to this, but frankly, the XML is so badly structured that I would start by
writing a SAX2 filter to turn it into something more sanitary. All that this
filter has to do is to generate a <bulletlist> start tag when it encounters
a <par def="1">, and to generate a </bulletlist> end tag when it encounteres
a <par def="2/>. You then have a structure that uses XML the way it was
intended to be used, and the XSLT transformation becomes trivial.
