Thank you Erwan!  That did the trick... the attributes are combined.

There is an oddity with the transformed XML.  It has a automated
namespace prefiexed to the attribute name (auto-ns1) like so:

<s auto-ns1:Number=3D"21002" auto-ns1:Name=3D"North"
auto-ns1:DateLoaded=3D"2006-11-28">

I can work around it, but wonder if there's an easy way to prevent the
prefix?

Thanks for your help!!
