(After seeing your posting on xml-dev and then opening with a comment about
how xsl-list is a better place for XSL(T) stylesheet issues, I now see that you
cc'd your posting to xsl-list. I don't see any answer there yet,
so I'll forge ahead.)
One problem is that your XML couldn't be valid: the DOCTYPE declaration
said that the document element was ARTICLE, but the SUPPLIER element came before
the ARTICLE element. The document element has to enclose everything else.
To process it, you could do this: remove the DOCTYPE declaration and add
some other element (I'll call it TEMP) around the whole thing to make it
well-formed. The stylesheet below should then do what you need. I tried to
comment it a lot.
