Re:  Create Table
The table body can also be generated using an XPath expression which avoids
the spurious non-breaking space and lets you specify attribute field's values
in a sequence:

<tbody>
   <!-- ... -->
   <xsl:for-each
select="BOM/interface-categories/category[@category='Source']">
      <tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="for $x in ('file','version','date','user',
                                         'cr_number','comment') return
             if (data[@section='changes' and @field=$x]) then
                 data[@section='changes' and @field=$x] else '&#160;'">
           <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
