Hierarchy to Flat Structure

 Hierarchy to Flat Structure
I am trying to add hierarchy to a flat structure and have it basically
working. But I am wondering if there is a way to generalize the children
that I am adding. Hopefully an example will help illustrate what I am doing.

Input: 

<Cases>
	<Cases>
		<Category>Category One</Category>
		<CaseTitle>Category One Title</CaseTitle>
		<Institution>Category One Institution</Institution >
		<Author>Category One Author</Author>
		<History>Category One History</History>
		<Category>Category Two</Category>
		<CaseTitle>Category Two Title</CaseTitle>
		<Institution>Category Two Institution</Institution >
		<Author>Category Two Author</Author>
		<History>Category Two History</History>
	</Cases>
</Cases>

Output:

<Cases>
	<Case>
		<Category>Category One</Category>
		<CaseTitle>Category One Title</CaseTitle>
		<Institution>Category One Institution</Institution >
	</Case>
	<Case>
		<Category>Category Two</Category>
		<CaseTitle>Category Two Title</CaseTitle>
		<Institution>Category Two Institution</Institution >
	</Case>
</Cases>

Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    
    <xsl:output indent="yes" />
    
    <xsl:template match="Cases/Cases">
    <Cases>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="Category" />
    </Cases>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="Category">
        <Case>
            <Category><xsl:value-of select="." /></Category>
            <xsl:apply-templates
                select="following-sibling::CaseTitle
                [generate-id(preceding-sibling::Category[1])
                = generate-id(current())]" />
            <xsl:apply-templates
                select="following-sibling::Institution
                [generate-id(preceding-sibling::Category[1])
                = generate-id(current())]" />
        </Case>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="CaseTitle">
        <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Institution">
        <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    </xsl:template>
    
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have template rules for each of the following siblings of Category and I
can add more for Author, etc., but it seems like there should be a way to
generalize this for any number of elements. Any help would be appreciated.
