[xquery-talk] Problems with combining elements

[Torsten Grust]

Florian,

I suppose that in your target XML format below, the second 'Rank'
element should have a 'name' attribute with value "Neuweltaffe",
is this correct?

If not, I think your transformation problem is underspecified as is.

Cheers,
