I'd like to have an index into the firewall objects, and inside those
objects an index of the rulesets.

I maintain multiple firewalls for a customer that share quite a number
of objects. Also my own firewalls are similarly related. But that
customer has requested a copy of the rulesets for a while now, and very
much likes the output generated with the help of your XSL file.

So the main goal is accomplished :-). The indices would just be icing
on the cake. I've always meant to learn XSLT, but right now I just don't
have the time. If I did, this would be a nice learning project :-(
