Simple enough? Or too simple for your real-life version?


If the set of posibilities is bigger (either lots of 'types' or lots of
other values), consider

...

          <xsl:call-template name="other_values">
>       </NEW>

      <xsl:when test="...">

<xsl:template name="other_values">
 <xsl:copy-of match="./qty" />
 <xsl:copy-of match="./code" />
 ...
</xsl:template>
