> <Qualifications>
>   <Competency name="Java">
>     <Competency id="programming_language:java"/>
>   </Competency>
>   <Competency name="C++">
>     <Competency id="programming_language:cpp"/>
>   </Competency>
>   <Competency name="C#">
>     <Competency id="programming_language:csharp"/>
>   </Competency>
>   <Competency name="WebLogic">
>     <Competency id="application_server:weblogic"/>
>   </Competency>
>   <Competency name="WebSphere">
>     <Competency id="application_server:websphere"/>
>   </Competency>
> </Qualifications>

> The output I want is:
>
> programming_language:
> Java, C++, C#
>
> application_server:
> WebLogic, WebSphere

> The Competency elements can be in any order. I was
