RE: [xsl] Find the node with maximum elements

Easiest (even in 2.0) is to sort elements according to the number of
children and take the last:

<xsl:for-each select="Sample/*">
  <xsl:sort select="count(child::*)" data-type="number"/>
  <xsl:if test="position()=last()">
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
  </

Subject: [xsl] Find the node with maximum elements

Hello,
I have a requirement to write a xsl transformation to find 
the node which has the maximum number of elements

Below is a sample xml file 

<Sample>
    <Toyota>
          <Car>Camry</Car>
          <Car>Corrola</Car>
     </Toyota>
     <Honda>
            <Car>Accord></Car>
          <Car>Civic</Car>
          <Car>Pilot</Car>
     </Honda>
     <Mitsubishi>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
        <Car>Lancer</Car>
     </Mitsubishi>
    <Hyundai>
        <Car>Sonata</Car>
        <Car>Accent</Car>
</Hyundai>
</Sample>

The xsl should return Honda and Mitsubishi

Would appreciate your help.

Thanks
Avaneesh
