Thanks for the links.  Helps.  Interesting.  Doesn't look very complex.
 Not as complex as the GC XML file by a long shot.

First I'll say, while I attempted to translate the Element names in
this XML so I could understand them, I could get get a translation for
all of them, so there may be bits I'm missing.  For instance, I not
exactly sure what "PieceRef" or "EcritureLet" means.

That said, this basically looks like a ledger extract from a single
account's point of view.  I'm not sure whether there is even a way to
reference the balancing account's transactions in this format.  It
seems to be just a list of transactions.  The transactions in the GC
file effectively have most of this information.... I would maybe start
with the "account report" to get your data, and then wrap that with the
leading and trailing stuff "hard coded."  If you extract the
transaction data for the account(s) in question from the GC xml file,
then an XML style sheet conversion might do it as well... maybe even
without extracting anything.  If I were doing it, I'd probably use the
perl code I have the reads the CG XML file, to write out the XML that
conforms to this XSD. The balancing account name could be concatenated
to the transaction description if necessary.
