RE: [xsl] xsl for parsing strange xml

["Michael Kay" <michael dot h dot kay at ntlworld dot com>]

First, convert the XML to a "normalized" form in which all the
properties are explicitly marked up, rather than packing several things
together in one attribute. Then it shouldn't be too difficult to
organize things as you want using conventional sorting and grouping
techniques.
