BTW, one other problem I've got is how to maintain the alternating row

It works if I have an even number of DETAILLINEs w data. Of course, in
this case position() is being used... If I use $detail-count instead
bgcolor for empty rows stays the same...
No surprise. Try "($detail-count + position()) mod 2" or a variation.
I looked in the XSLT FAQ, and couldn't come up with an intelligent
enough wording for searching. Any ideas on a good query?
I think the FAQ is meant to be read from beginning to end,
