Do you have XSLT code that does this: Given a root folder, show all the 
subfolders and files within it, repeat for each subfolder.

Example, for this folder structure:

root
     persons
         local
             JohnDoe.xml
             MarySmith.xml
         remote
             BillAnderson.xml

the XSLT code outputs this XML:

<root>
      <persons>
           <local>
               <john>JoeDoe.xml</john>
               <mary>MarySmith.xml</mary>
         </local>
         <remote>
              <bill>BillAnderson.xml</bill>
        </remote>
     </persons>
</root>

If you have the EXPath File module available, the XSLT code is pretty simple. But there is a problem you will have to face, that folder names need not necessarily be valid NCNames, and thus not valid as the names of elements. For example what if the folder name contains spaces?
