need the help from the XML, XSLT experts.

I have 2 sample records exported from a system in XML format which is shown below. I like to use XSLT to convert the data to tab delimited text as shown here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgOV9Or8-zdzdG8yWTlRb1hWeUhzZG02MHA5TGxqR2c

The transformation is a bit complex for a XML novice. I would appreciate if someone could help me by creating a XSL file.

Thanks.

    Something like that should work as a good starting point

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="//Recordset">
<xsl:for-each select="Record">
        <xsl:value-of select="ID"/>
        <!-- tab char -->
        <xsl:text>&#x9;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="TIL"/>
        <xsl:text>&#x9;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="SET"/>
        <xsl:text>&#x9;</xsl:text>
        <!-- all other fields... -->
        <xsl:value-of select="SystemID"/>
        <!-- line feed char -->
        <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
