The stylesheet below doesn't do everything you need, because demonstrates
the parts of XSLT that should handle all your program logic. The second
template rule copies all source tree nodes except for Value elements whose
DataType attribute has a value of INTEGER. The first template rule, for
these Value elements, adds an element to the result tree using an
xsl:element element and an xsl:attribute element. The xsl:attribute element
has program logic to figure out the value of the DataType attribute. If the
element's content has no period in it (the "precision=0" part), it checks
the content value and sets the DataType value appropriately.
