RE: splitting multiple occurrences of an element within another element

Thank you very much.  Your code does exactly what I need.  
Now I need to
see if I can understand it.

Mukul Gandhi's solution is very similar to the one I posted earlier,
with a few changes to account for the deep nesting location of the
doclink.  The key point in both solutions is the selection of doclink
nodes - which Gandhi is selecting with .//doclink (BTW, '//doclink'
would work just as well here), which finds doclink nodes at any depth
instead of just the one nesting level I originally used.  He uses the
ancestor axis to find the related document node so he can get the right
attribute values - my example used '..' to get to the right ancestor.

Gandhi uses for-each instead of apply-templates.  Either way will work,
as you can see.  

Cheers,

Tom P
