I know there are faq's on flattening but as  newbie i'm  a little unclear
on this.

My problem:

incoming document is something like this:

<doc>
    text text text
    <sec id="sec1">
       <p>text1text1text1</p>
        <sec id="sec1.1">
           <p>text2 text2 text2</p>
        </sec>
       <p>text3 text3 text3</p>
   </sec>
</doc>

i.e <sec> tags are nested to arbitary level.

I need

<doc>
   text text text
   <section id="s1" level="1">
       <p>text1 text1 text1</p>
   </section>
   <section id="s2" level="2">
        <p>text text text</p>
   </section>
   <section id="s3" level="1">
       <p>text3 text3 text3</p>
   </section>
</doc>


 thanks in advance,

 Dave.

No replies to this, can XSLT really not do this? I've decided to address this 
by pre-filtering using SAX where this kind of transform is pretty easy.
