Hi Nathan,
I have a generic style sheet that I adapt for tasks just like this.
It's pretty simple XSLT. I took the liberty of adapting it for your
purpose. I haven't tested this at all, but I think it will serve the
trick. The xslt assumes a schema-valid file - you'll have to adapt it
for a DTD valid file.
Let me know if it works.
