you could look at the dir utility on www.bayes.co.uk

and u could have a matched template

<xsl:template match="Folder[count(descendant::*)=desired_node_depth]">

</xsl:template>

>   <Folder NAME="b">
>     <Folder NAME="ba"/>
>     <Folder NAME="bb"/>
>   </Folder>

>   <Folder NAME="z">
>     <Folder NAME="za">

>                 <Folder NAME="very deep folder"/>
>       ...
>     </Folder>
>   </Folder
> </Folder>

> The real folder NAMEs are like real folder names, and have no specific

>       | / |  a  |  ba       very deep folder
>       |   |  b  |  bb
>             ...
>       |   |  z  |  za
