(Note that criteria is the plural form of critrion. So both "criterias"
and "critrions" are wrong.)

So basically you want to produce an HTML table, right? I can confirm
that XSLT is the perfect tool for this job. You could even do that
without Perl, by using xsltproc (command line utility of LibXSLT), or
Xalan, or Saxon, or MSXML.

On the other hand, I'm afraid the unpleasant nitty-gritty detail of your
example together with the complicated table do not exactly make this a
fun task. It rather looks like a major tedium.

I suggest you reexamine my initial suggestion to provide a *minimal*
example. The advantages with minimal examples are manifold, and include
easily writable and understandable explanations. Saves a lot of time.

I suggest you start producing HTML tables from simplified input. When
being blocked, post to xml-list at <mulberrytech.com>.

Thanks.
