RE: xsl: selecting and copying nodes

You probably want some kind of grouping in your output.
If you want to group like a content table you should write a template that matches like match="ve[not(contains(@pos,'.'))]"
That would select each ve tag with pos like 1,2,3,...9,10,11,... , but not 6.1 .
After you can use the following-sibiling axis to do the rest.
