Re:  break or exit in xsl?
Hello Dimitre,
  I don't mind your remarks.. My primary objective is
to *learn* from the questions and answers on the
list..

But I'll take your advice seriously.. "to check and
re-check my statements.." 

I owe a debt to many people on XSL-List from whom I
have learnt a lot..

Regards,
Mukul
