Re: [xsl] The notion of Inheritance?

[Cristobal Galiano Fernandez <c dot galiano at ua dot es>]

Michael:

I don't understand what you can say. Perhaps a way to update elements
attributes? Can you write an short, but full (XML & XLL) example.

Perhaps this XML is good for you (?)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Data>
   <person id="1" Nombre="Cristóbal" apell1="Garcia" apell2="Fernández"
edad="23" apell1="GalianoUpd" />
   <person id="1" Nombre="Cristóbal-Up1"  />
   <person id="1" apell2="Fernández-Up3" edad="24" />
   <person id="2" Nombre="Rocio" apell1="Senda" apell2="Zapata" edad="21" />
   <person id="3" Nombre="Alicia" apell1="Melliza" apell2="Joquer" edad="22" />

</Data>

Thanks in advance
