Right. From here, it's a short step to use a template (with Mike's correction): <xsl:template match="Folder">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Placemark[ExtendedData/Data
[attribute::name='rdb_status' and value='Endangered']]"/>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="Placemark"> <xsl:value-of select="@id" />, <xsl:value-of select="name" />, <xsl:value-of select="ExtendedData/Data[@name='location_name']/value"/>, <xsl:value-of select="ExtendedData/Data[@name='grid_ref']/value"/>, <xsl:value-of select="ExtendedData/Data[@name='rdb_status']/value"/>, <xsl:value-of select="ExtendedData/Data[@name='last_seen']/value"/>, <br/> </xsl:template> Now, this is an improvement only if: (a) you consider it a cosmetic improvement, or (b) your problem becomes more complex and you discover you have to do the same thing with other Placemark elements in other situations. More refactoring is also possible; for example you could have a template matching 'Data' elements that would write their 'value' elements, if you did a lot of that. But again, for a simple case (especially if it's a single-purpose, one-off stylesheet) that might be overkill, and you get the idea.
