Well, as a non-expert I took a stab at it, and I hope the experts
will provide solutions as well.  I had to make a few assumptions in
my attempted solution (e.g., assuming data sorted by column and row
in order to get the "unique rows" for a given pivot, and assuming the
first pivot provides a master template w/re to the number of rows),
and I figure there will be a better way -- but I'm out of time. :)

I tend to try and answer problems which are going to prove a challenge,
ones where the solution isn't obvious to me.  I also tend to answer
simple questions in areas where I know I had trouble when I was first
learning XSLT.

I really wish browsers would just get on with supporting XSLT 2.0,
I don't ever want to have to deal with XSLT 1.0 in *my* shop!
