It  seems inefficient to have to put a<td>  in every one of my individual templates.  Is there 
any way I can apply a template that puts in the<td>  tags for every child of<row>  and then 
applies the individual templates for the types of children of<row>?


<xsl:apply-templates mode="td"/>

...

<xsl:template match="*" mode="td">
  <td>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
  </td>
</xsl:template>


...

  <xsl:template match="money">

       <span class="money" onclick="ShowMeMoney()">
           <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       </span>

    </xsl:template>



Of course a mode with just a single template is the same thing as a for-each so you could if you prefer not have the td mode and instead go

<xsl:for-each select="*">
  <td>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
  </td>
</xsl:for-each>

matter of taste really, and whether you want to do it for several different parent templates, in which case all of them sharing the td mode saves a bit over repeating the for-each in each one,
