Just curious how other's might approach a test to determine if the

little heavy to me.  Thoughts?

                <xsl:if test="(count(preceding-sibling::*) +
count(following-sibling::*)) &gt; 1">
                    <hr/>
                </xsl:if>

I think you need "... >0" in your test above to know that the current element has no siblings.


But if you know your current node is an element you could ask:

test="count(../*)!=1"

... which would return true if the current element is not an only child element.

I hope this helps.
