Can you give us a more complete sample input doc than the one you've
supplied so far, to wit:

This example provides only a single occurrence of a submittedValues/display
pair. I gather from your comments that this structure can't be guaranteed
to be regular -- especially the structure of the <display> element. But
(speaking for myself) it's real hard to guess what *other* kinds of
structures you might encounter. That I think is why Sara and I proposed
"works with THIS structure only" solutions.
