Hi Till,
And after you've got it working, ask again and we'll tell you about the Advanced Technique using keys (the Topic of the Week) to simplify such "levitation" problems (by which I mean making implicit structures explicit)....

Have a template matching "name". In the body of this template create the target <person> element, copying the matched <name> element, e.g. using copy-of. To handle elements which always appear, use copy-of with following-sibling to get the *first* element after the name of the given type. Get this working first, and see that 'phil' ends up with age 28. Make sure everyone gets just one age! When you have that XPath right, you now have to add a condition that the node you find matches the current <name> node and not a later one. So, add a further condition that the <name> node before the one you have found is the same node as the one matched in your template: use preceding-sibling and generate-id().
Have a try at this yourself, if you get stuck ask again.
