I need to build a nested heading Rows/Columns (<TR>
and <TD>). The output should look like this for the
2003 heading:

                          2003                
    Quarter 1        Quarter 2        Quarter 3       
   Quarter 4 
Total Pages Cost Total Pages Cost Total Pages Cost   
Total Pages  Cost

<ColGrp heading="Quarter">
  <ColGrp heading="2003">
    <Col heading="Quarter 1" />
    <Col heading="Quarter 2" />
    <Col heading="Quarter 3" />
    <Col heading="Quarter 4" />
  </ColGrp>
</ColGrp>

I use the xpath below to get me to the inner most
ColGrp (parent of Col elements). 

Normally $depth = 1 
//ColGrp[count(ancestor::ColGrp)=$depth]

//ColGrp[count(ancestor::ColGrp)=1]

So, I go to the ancestor:ColGrp whose depth = 1  

This will produce the first <TD>s

2003      2004

Then all the Col elements will produce the second row
with all the <TD>s

Quarter 1   Quarter 2      Quarter 3       Quarter 4 

And lastly, for each Col element I have to go back to
the Measure elements to produce the final Row which
will be the same for all the Col elements

Therefore, this is the output I get with my XSLT but
it is too slow for big xml docs.

                         2003                
Quarter 1     Quarter 2    Quarter 3        Quarter 4 
Total Pages Cost Total Pages Cost Total Pages Cost   
                         
Cheers
