match muliple header records to associated detail records

[Luke Airig]

I am using the Saxon engine and I have an xml file that contains
batches of records. Each batch starts with a header record and the
associated detail records immediately follow each header. There can
be multiple batches in
a single file, each batch indicated by a new header.

I need to create a tab-delimited output file that appends all of the
header record fields in front of each associated detail record within
the same batch. The following xsl works for a file with a single
batch/header but not for multiple batches/headers. Can someone help
me tweak this to work properly? The Saxon command line syntax is
commented at the end of the xsl.
