xml to csv translation

  2) Process the rows like this.  For clarity I ignore the need to
  suppress the last trailing comma, then later I deal with it -

  <xsl:template match="row">
  	<xsl:apply-templates select='@*' mode='fields'/>
  	<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text> <!-- or any other characters you
  want-->
  </xsl:template>


Ypu should add an xsl:sort here (eg on name()) as otherwise your columns
will come out in arbitrary order, and possibly different orders
on each row.

but in a csv file if each row has things in a different order how can
you know which field is which?
