Another easiest way is to use our good friend, the much-maligned but 
faithful xsl:for-each, as in

<xsl:template match="group">
   <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::group">
     <xsl:text>   </xsl:text>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:text>GROUP-LEVEL&#xA;<xsl:text>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

and do the same in the template matching "field" to get them indented too. 
(Put the for-each in a named template if you have to use it alot.)

This would work, wouldn't it Jeni? It's kind of a refinement of the 
count(ancestor::*) technique.

Cheers,
Wendell
