Hi David,

I see... I can understand that in a query that if I just don't select what I
don't need then all will be a-okay.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the relationships are going to be in the
file... I've tried your example with many variations and yet no results. I'm
wondering if I should somehow be using keys, but how can I specify a key if
I don't know what the element names are? The only thing I'm sure of is that
I'm selecting the element nodes that don't contain child element nodes.

If anybody wants to step in here, please feel free. I'm not sure how to
approach this in XSL, with or without keys.
