I tested this and it works.  As I see it, the weakness in my approach is
that I'm making assumptions in how your param elements may vary.  (I.e. I
hard-coded 'date' in one template, and make the assumption that the names
won't vary.)  It was tested using MSXML 4.  It seems to me that you could
easily build templates for each name pattern and extend this to be more
robust.

I'm just learning, so these little exercises are helpful!  --Jeff
