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.
