RE: [xsl]how to mix two trees

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

Change your XML design, use <question-ref id="1">, not <question_1>.
It's very poor design to build meaning into the structure of your XML
element names, and it will certainly make your XSLT coding much harder.
