This doesn't really fall into "xsl", I know.. but knew this forum could help.
Yes, it isn't related to XSL and should not have been posted here in
order to reduce the signal/noise ratio for XSL/XPath issues.
One list you could have posted this to is XML Dev:
http://www.xml.org/xml-dev/
I
understand that A is multiple rows in the <returned_name_address> table. How
would you describe B? We're getting B back in a result set from a vendor
service and I'm having trouble explaining to them why it's bad. Any
help would
be appreciated.
You could cite the improper cardinalities: it seems that the
cardinality of <returned_name_address> is supposed to be "1 or more"
and the cardinality of <name_address> is "1" in Exhibit A, and that
isn't what is being used in Exhibit B.
But ask on XML-Dev and see what other people have to say.
I hope this helps.
