don't think of opening and closing tags, think of elements containing or
not containingg stuff.

reword the requirement to:

 I need the thead element to contain the result of processing rows that
have a th, and the remaining rows to be processed in tbody (or nothing,
I can't remeber quite how these tables worked). 

Once phrased that way, the translation to xslt is immediate:

<thead>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="tr[th]"/>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="tr[not(th)]"/>
</tbody>


no xsl:if testing is required here, I think.

I think he stated that he wanted to only create the <thead> if there
were any tr[th], otherwise no <thead>.
In which case you'd need to test something like:

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="tr[th]">
        <thead>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="tr[th]"/>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="tr[not(th)]"/>
        </tbody>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="tr"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

P.S. I've been a member of this list for quite a while now.  What a
wealth of solutions you've all provided during that time.  I usually
don't reply much anymore since the list regulars/gurus are so fast they
usually have a response posted before I even get started typing. :-)
