I've been wandering through the archives and other searches and so
far have not found exactly what I am hoping to find. I need to write
an XSLT stylesheet that accepts an unknown XML document and flattens
the hierarchy to a two-dimensional row/columns structure.
I know the basics, especially when you know the input structure, but
this has to be completely generic. The input document may have any
level of repeating node sets, including none. I believe we can
ignore (at least for the moment) mixed content. I'm getting stuck on
the logic to handle the issue of any level of repeating nodes.
Does anyone know of an example of anything approaching this?
I published one at the request of a fellow UBL committee member:

... you may find the "push" technique used there will guide you.
Another example is the SHOWTREE stylesheet:

I hope these help.
