Hi Michael,
  Could you please explain how to have the results of all the templates you provided go into a
variable? And be passed to a template like the one below ...

<xsl:template match="reg">
  <br/>Register = <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  Parent Offset = <xsl:value-of select="../@offset"/>
  Sibling count = <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::reg)"/>
</xsl:template>

Appreciating your help.
Anupam.
