Oliver,
>I'm not sure if the approach using key() is promising.
I had half suspected that key() would be more problematic for a generic
solution.
However, I'm currently using your updated stylesheet on a 800 node test
file. At the moment it's performed about 10% in 12 mins.
Am I right in thinking that key() is more efficient than searching through
nodes using a <xslt:for-each>. If so, then for large problems, key() may
be the only reasonable solution.

I'd like to claim credit for the idea, but it was Jeni Tennison's (another
one for her FAQ?).
Although I'm not looking for something super-fast, 2+ hours is a bit too
long. I'm resigned to thinking that a solution that uses a priori knowledge
about the format of the XML is my only way forward.
Thanks
Tom
