RE: Variable value change based on condition

"Requirements" means we'd like to know :

1.
What the input xml looks like (a short example, perhaps).

2.
What the output xml looks like (a short example, perhaps).

3.
An explanation of logical releationships between the data in the input and the
data in the output.
Especially if it isn't obvious.
Actually even if you think it is obvious, as it may not be to us.



Appreciatively,
Richard.
