Transforming multiple elements to a single element

Hello,

I have input structure like this:

<entry>
        <dimension name="dimName" value="dimValue"/>
        <dimension name="dimName2" value="dimValue2"/>
        <metric name="metName" value="metValue"/>
        <metric name="metName2" value="metValue2"/>
</entry>

I need to transform this entry into this format:

<row>
        <field name="dimName" value="dimValue"/>
        <field name="metName" value="metValue"/>
        <field name="metName2" value="metValue2"/>
</row>
<row>
        <field name="dimName2" value="dimValue2"/>
        <field name="metName" value="metValue"/>
        <field name="metName2" value="metValue2"/>
</row>

This seems to be a nontrivial problem.  I can easily loop through the
entry node and retrieve the dimension/metric attributes and create the
field elements.  However, I don't understand how in XSLT to process
the dimension, jump to the metrics and process those, then return to
the next dimension element, and so forth.  Further, the 2 + 2 in this
case is simply a test document.  The production data could have 1-7
dimension elements and 1-50 metric elements in each entry node.

Advice and pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
