I think the solution is *a lot* simpler, but i read you post in a
diagonal line...
Look the faq for identity transform, it should cover what you need.

I need to convert a flat xml document to something more hierarcial by
surrounding some elements with other empty elements.
Original XML:
------------
<Record>
<id>102</id>
<type>O</Type>
<count>37</count>
<firstname>Joe</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<initial>A</initial>
<street>35 Main Street</street>
<city>Moosejaw</city>
<country>Sasaktchewan</country>
<postal_code>TOEOPO</postal_code>
<amount1>1.23</amount1>
<amount2>4.56</amount2>
<amount3>7.89</amount3>
<language>E</language>
</Record>
Desired Output:
--------------
<Record>
<id>102</id>
<type>O</Type>
<count>37</count>
<NAME>
<firstname>Joe</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
</NAME>
<ADDRESS>
<street>35 Main Street</street>
<city>Moosejaw</city>
<country>Saskatchewan</country>
<postal_code>TOEOPO</postal_code>
</ADDRESS>
<language>E</language>
</Record>
My stylesheet:
-------------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Record">
<Record>
<xsl:apply-templates select="lastname" mode="Name"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="postal_code" mode="PC"/>
</Record>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="lastname" mode="Name">
<NAME>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="preceding::firstname[generate-id(following::lastname[1]) =
generate-id(current())]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</NAME>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="postal_code" mode="PC">
<ADDRESS>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="preceding::street[generate-id(following::postal_code[1]) =
generate-id(current())]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</ADDRESS>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Record/*">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My output:
--------------
<NAME>
<firstname>Joe</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
</NAME>
<ADDRESS>
<street>35 Main Street</street>
<postal_code>TOEOPO</postal_code>
</ADDRESS>
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong? I'm missing <id>, <type> etc,
and my xsl returns only 2 elements when more are sometimes required.
Thanks for your time,
M Glenties
