This doesn't really fall into "xsl", I know.. but knew this forum could help.

Yes, it isn't related to XSL and should not have been posted here in order to reduce the signal/noise ratio for XSL/XPath issues.

One list you could have posted this to is XML Dev:

http://www.xml.org/xml-dev/

I

understand that A is multiple rows in the <returned_name_address> table. How would you describe B? We're getting B back in a result set from a vendor service and I'm having trouble explaining to them why it's bad. Any help would be appreciated.

You could cite the improper cardinalities: it seems that the cardinality of <returned_name_address> is supposed to be "1 or more" and the cardinality of <name_address> is "1" in Exhibit A, and that isn't what is being used in Exhibit B.

But ask on XML-Dev and see what other people have to say.

I hope this helps.
