Re:  Get to 2 max values and element names
William,

you did not suggest how the different Modifier values will be specified, so I
made a guess. The solution (created with famous ;Kernow for Saxon+!) is not
very clever as I did not want to check out what XSLT 1 really can do. I have
commented out some debugging output and there are no node-set() function
included, but it worked with Kernow fine.

Check it out,

- Michael
