Re: [xsl] Generate tab-delimited file

Benoit,

Looking at your first example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<topic>
        <id>123</id>
        <dob>
                <Year>2001</Year>
                <Month>07</Month>
                <Day>01</Day>
        </dob>
        <b>Item</b>
        <c code="12">xyz</c>
        <d code="34"></d>
        <e/>
</topic>

you want to identify columns headers as:
  id      dob     b       c       d       e 

I see nothing in the rule you describe below that implies you should
keep "d" or "e" as column headers in the example above. I think that's
part of what is meant by "under specified".

Jim.
