I've attached what I'm now using. I'm finding however that, due to the 
condition execution, my current code spits out all the other attributes 
before the two conditions:

for i in 1..rows.length
  next if rows[i].nil?
  if not rows[surname] or rows[forename]
    puts rows[i]#"Current attribute: #{rows[i]}"
  end
  if rows[surname]
    puts "<ORGANISATIONAL_PERSON>"
    #puts "row #{i}"
    puts "  <SURNAME>"
    puts "  #{rows[i][surname]}"
    puts "  </SURNAME>"
  end
  if rows[forename]
    #puts "row #{i}"
    puts "  <FORENAME>"
    puts "  #{rows[i][forename]}"
    puts "  </FORENAME>"
  end
end

The problem being that an if, elsif else construction doesn't seem to 
work...
