RE: RE: RE: merging generic elements in a parent-child

I finally solved this... if anyone want to see the solution here it is.
Thanks to all for the help!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="TopElement" select="'Persona'"/>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<!-- key into the parent attributes -->
<!-- where the keyed value is a combination of the parent -->
<!-- key type and the value of that parent key id -->
<xsl:key name="kIDs" match="root/*/@*[substring(name(),1,2) = 'id']"
use="concat(substring(name(),3),'=',.)"/>
<!-- key for grouping like parented and named -->
<xsl:key name="kIDName" match="root/*/@*[substring(name(),1,2) = 'id']"
use="concat(name(..),'|',substring(name(),3),'=',.)"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <root>
    <!-- select only top-level elements that have no parented element for
id????? attribute -->
  <xsl:element name="{$TopElement}Group">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="root/*[name() = $TopElement]"
mode="top-levels"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="top-levels">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="key('kIDs',concat(name(),'=',@id))[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('kIDName',concat(name(..),'|',substring(name(),3),'=',.)))]/
.."
mode="group-start">
     <xsl:with-param name="parent-name" select="name()"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="group-start">
 <xsl:param name="parent-name"/>
 <xsl:variable name="parent-id" select="@*[substring(name(),3) =
$parent-name]"/>
 <!-- begin this child group -->
 <xsl:element name="{name()}Group">
  <!-- show all elements parented by the same id and with the same name -->
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="key('kIDName',concat(name(),'|',$parent-name,'=',$parent-id))/.."/>
 </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <!-- apply templates to those elements parented by this id (grouped by
name) -->
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="key('kIDs',concat(name(),'=',@id))[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('kIDName',concat(name(..),'|',substring(name(),3),'=',.)))]/
.."
mode="group-start">
     <xsl:with-param name="parent-name" select="name()"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
