Yeah Wendell I think that is the solution I've decided to go with,
with some xml modification I should be able to get it pretty close to
the final output. I don't believe that I am going against what the
designers of the application provided however. In fact placement of
tagged text in inDesign has been around form quite some time while xml
support is rather recent. I do agree that it is great that there are
so many competent practitioners on the list any I thank you all for
the help.
Cheers,
Spencer

Ok David, thanks for the post.
I've removed the extraneous info. from my xsl. The sequence was in
fact left out for my small example, sorry about that.

Also Michael mentioned using output-method="text" and "disable-output
escaping" this is what I tried to do in my original attempt, but came
up with badly formatted output.
since you are using xsl:output="text" you can remove all the d-o-e
attributes as they have no effect on text output. escaping is only done
in xml and html output so it's only there it can be disabled.
That will make your stylesheet easier to read but not have any effect on
the output.
for similar reasns the omit-xml-declaration attribute is doing nothing
here
<xsl:output method="text" name="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
encoding="us-ascii"/>
the encoding attribute though will have an effect: if the system honours
this attribute and outputs in ascii then if there are any non-ascii
characters in the output tree you will get a fatal error. XML style &#
character escapes are not available in text output mode.
You have
<xsl:sort select="sequence"/>
but your sample input didn't have a sequence element, not sure if that's
an error or just that your sample was small.
