Since xml is normally called a tree rather than a network, that's a leaf
not a stub.

<xsl:for-each select="/*//*">

selects ever descendent of the first child, ie every element except teh
document element, you want every element with no child element that's
<xsl:for-each select="//*[not(*)">

(testing for no children (and generating path expressions) are both in
the faq for this list at www.dpawson.co.uk)
