Hi Rick,

If you add a template for your root

   <xsl:template match="/Cases">
            <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:template>

you could simply do this

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

for covering all the sibling notes

I have two observations however.

- it is worth looking into so called "sibling recursion" for doing such a task in XSLT1. I will post an example in a minute

- it is worth considering XSLT2 for this task. Let me know if that is a viable path. It has grouping functionality built in for a task like this

Cheers

Geert
