how to merge two nodes having “the same father” an

问题:

I need to merge the two nodes MANHATTAN:

because our system rule is the following:

"CREATE A + MODIFY A" is still a "CREATE A with the merged attributes"

input file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<world>
<COUNTRY id="USA" >
  <STATE id="NEW JERSEY">
     <CITY id="NEW YORK" method="modify">


        <DISTRICT id="MANHATTAN" method="create">
           <attributes>
              <population>99 </population> 
              <income> 10000</income>
           </attributes>
        </DISTRICT>

        <DISTRICT id="MANHATTAN" method="modify">
           <attributes>
              <temperature>78</temperature>
              <income>15000</income>
              <information>suburb of newyork</information>
           </attributes>
        </DISTRICT>

     </CITY>

  </STATE>

Expected output:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <world>
 <COUNTRY id="USA" >
  <STATE id="NEW JERSEY">
     <CITY id="NEW YORK" method="modify">

        <DISTRICT id="MANHATTAN" method="create">
           <attributes>
              <population>99 </population> 
              <temperature>78</temperature>
              <income>15000</income>
              <information>suburb of newyork</information>
           </attributes>
        </DISTRICT>

     </CITY>
 </STATE>
</COUNTRY>
</world>

Please help, I have just began XSLT and doing it in Perl or Python will takes hours.

Adapt solution from similar problem at how to merge two nodes having "the same father", the same method and the same id=0 (using XSLT)?

Read the solution to see how grouping works, and then vary the grouping keys accordingly.
