| in the Dependent tag? That way, I can do a for-each to process the
| Dependents... Maybe using something dealing with parent/child node
| relationships?
Not the most efficient, but the following will work:
<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(.),'Dependent')]"
this will match any element (*) whose local name (that is,
ignoring any namespaces) starts with the string "Dependent"
If it doesn't appear to work, you may need to add a priority="2"
attribute get the this template chosen over others.
