[xsl] How to get the name of the first child element?


Subject: [xsl] How to get the name of the first child element?
From: Ram Anantha <ranantha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Given:

<DOCUMENT context="783926097">
  <TABLE id="R997"/>
</DOCUMENT>

I want to convert the above into:

<DOCUMENT context="783926097" schema="TABLE" 
name="R997"/>

The logic is: Get the first child element's name (TABLE)  and store it in
the "schema" attribute. Please note that I can't
hard code the element name "TABLE" - I need to get the name automatically.
This way, I can use the same XSL to 
convert the following document:

<DOCUMENT context="783926097">
  <CHAIR id="R998"/>
</DOCUMENT>

into 

<DOCUMENT context="783926097" schema="CHAIR" 
name="R998"/>


How can I do this in XSL? Please help..
