Consider the following structure (elementary schema/example)
<one>
<id> <date> {suppose values of: 1 and 19991012}
<id> <date> {suppose values of: 2 and 20001012}
<id> <date> {suppose values of: 3 and 20001212}
<details>
<id> <subjectdetails> {suppose values of: 1 and 'juicy details'}
<id> <subjectdetails> {suppose values of: 1 and 'more details'}
<id> <subjectdetails> {suppose values of: 1 and 'even more details'}
<id> <subjectdetails> {suppose values of: 2 and 'details for 2'}
<id> <subjectdetails> {suppose values of: 3 and 'details for 3'}

What I wish to accomplish (and I keep failing to do - new to xml/xsl) is to
associate/group the outer ids with the inner details. Meaning for example to
use xsl to form a line like the following:
"Element with ID 1, details1, details2, details3"
"Element with ID 2, details4"
"Element with ID 3, details5"
I tried to nest for each loops to manage the comparison between the outside
and inside id fields but was unsuccessfull. I hope I presented my problem
clearly. Any suggestions, sample code would help a lot.
Thank you
