You could add an attribute like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<page about="/" onmenu="1">
<name>Home</name>
</page>
<page about="/who_we_are" onmenu="1">
<name>About us</name>
</page>
<page about="/contact_us" onmenu="1">
<name>Contact us</name>
</page>
<page about="/disclaimer">
<name>Disclaimer</name>
</page>
<category about="/mulberries" onmenu="1">
<name>Top fruit</name>
</category>
</root>
and then use Mukul's templates like:
The following XSL -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/root">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[boolean(@onmenu)]" mode="menu"/>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="menu">
<td>
<a href="{(_at_)about}">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</a>
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
produces output -
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><a href="/">Home</a></td>
<td><a href="/who_we_are">About us</a></td>
<td><a href="/contact_us">Contact us</a></td>
<td><a href="/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
