Thanks. I think I'll just leave things as they are. :)

One more question. :)

How do I ensure that the "    <!-- etc. -->" where I add new elements:
<xsl:element name="box:name">Connections-WM</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="box:description">somedescription</xsl:element>

is properly indented?  I have <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
set at the top. Do I need to explicitly add in spaces before the above
elements with a <xsl:text> </xsl:text> to get those elements correctly
indented into the <work-manager> element?

If you have indent="yes" and your XSL processor supports indenting, then it 
will add the necessary spacing as it see fit.  You may not like its choice, 
which you don't have control over in a standard way.  Saxon for example has 
extension attributes to control the number of spaces, other XSL processors 
don't.  If you want total control over indentation, then you should set 
indent="no" and add the indentation as you see fit which, unless you are OCD, 
is just not worth it.
