That works but just drops the analysis section (although it does get rid of 
the text from that section that was being displayed.  What I was using was:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="addresses">
       <dataset>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="address"/>
       </dataset>
   </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="tag|section/tag">
       <address>
          <sectionNumber>
               <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::section/@Comp"/>
         </sectionNumber>
          <name>
                <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
            </name>
            <value>
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </value>
       </address>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


I assume that if I want to use the analysis section I would need to do 
something like:

       <dataset>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="address"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="analysis"/>
       </dataset>

Then I would need to set up some type of match for the analysis section but 
how does the xsl know which match to use with which select?

Thanks,
