RE: iterating through nodes

You need to look at what you are doing here:

//w:string means "Get me all of the nodes called "string" (in the namespace "w") which are *anywhere* in the document"

That means that you are doing a for-each loop through the document, but then in your value-of call, you are getting the first w:string element in your document.

<xsl:value-of select="//w:string"/> is equivilent to <xsl:value-of select="//w:string[position() = 1]"/>

Hope this helps,

Ben

Usually, it just moves.  Try using 
	
	<xsl:value-of select="."/>

This would show the value of each node as the for-each iterates.
