Sure Florent,

We both know better ways to write this.

In order to help people I am trying to concentrate on their *main*
problem (one at a time) so that they get the main message.

Teaching them how to write good XSLT is probably not too-realistic in
the context of an isolated thread and would never replace a more
systematic approach, based on reading "the books".
