The rule, essentially, is that the set of policy_rule elements (ie. those
with an identical @decision_no) with the largest value have "Current"
written to the 3rd column, the next set "Previous" and subsequent "Previous
- 1", "Previous - 2" etc...

Assuming I don't mind using the node-set extension (I can't say as yet
since I don't know what's involved), how would I go about it? I'm using
Xalan 2.1 for Java. How would I sort into a node-set? Can you provide a
simple example?
