RE: Finding and promoting footnotes

This statement within the template matching "A[(_at_)class='footnote']" --

could be specialized to apply to just the TableFootnote node you require:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//*/TableFootnote[A/@ID=$fid]" mode="body"/>

from its current context by calling out to the top of the input XML using
the "//" path expression, but at some runtime expense.  You want to avoid
this by making up a key table of TableFootnote elements (at top level of
stylesheet) --

...

It is, but there is often difficulty knowing what keywords are appropriate
to a particular problem.  This problem, as are so many of XSL, is a grouping
problem.

Actually, I'd have called it an "ungrouping" problem (which you won't find in the archives :-) -- and note that this is a classic use case for keys, which we commonly use for grouping since we do that so often ... but once in a while we have to break the group up and send its members back home.

Cheers,
