Thanks again for all the help.  If you don't mind, I would like to ask
another question ...

I'm having trouble with two of the same 'ProductsItem' nodes being passed in
the parameter group of two separate template calls.  For example, lets say
we set our count variable to 3.  Looking at the same sample XML below, the
XSL is written to pass any 'ProductsItem' nodes in the ("Bar") parameter
where the Identifier/Type='ECCN Nbr' or Identifier/Type='PO Nbr'.  Because
the first 'ProductsItem' node contains only a count of 2 child 'Identifier'
nodes that meet this criteria, the second 'ProductsItem' node is also passed
in the parameter of the first call-template instruction because it has an
Identifier node with a Type='ECCN Nbr' or Type='PO Nbr' in a position less
than 3.  Now I have two 'ProductsItem' nodes being passed in the parameter
of my first template call with a total of 4 child 'Identifier' nodes that
meet my criteria.  This is too many.  I only want three.  If when passing an
additional 'ProductsItem' node exceeds the count of 3 maximum 'Identifier'
nodes per template call, I want to omit that additional 'ProductsItem' node
until the next call-template is executed.  In the case described above, I
would have only wanted the first 'ProductsItem' node to be passed in the
parameter because including the second 'ProductsItem' node will pass too
many 'Identifier' nodes.

Thanks again in advance for all of your help ...  I really appreciate your
time!
