Thank you again Joris ... Even if you find that your solution is not that
generic, it is still working perfectly for what i intend to achieve ... Then
it's for me a very good solution. ;)
Then again thank you very much for your help, i appreciate.

The solution that Joris gave me was working perfectly but
unfortunately, we have
changed a bit the structure of the xml and now there are some cases
where it's
not working.

The structure has become to complicated for me to be able to provide
a generic solution.

I tweaked my original a bit with logic depending on element names
(this destroys its original generic allures). This adaption ensures
the correct output, but the stylesheet looks dirty now. Maybe other
posters on this lists can come up with infinitely cleaner (and easier
to understand) solutions. Also, if one fails to understand the logic
of the algorithm, then the fault lies most likely with me.
