Here is what I have so far, but it's not enough.
I think you only need something such as what I have
below.
...
but I need to process back until the current node
(not
beyond it...) giving all element names along the
way,
starting after the closest ancestor node with an
attribute "id".
I've done some searching and I might need to do
some
XSLT grouping, but I'm not sure yet. Can anyone
help?
Because the elements are nested and not siblings, I
believe you don't
need grouping at all but can do it entirely with
axes.
I hope this helps ... it does give you precisely the
output that you quoted.
