  Subject: Conditional processing nodes at the same level

I have attached a snippet of an XML file created from rich text. The rich text contains a mixture of paragraphs and bullet pointed paragraphs. What I want to do is transform the rich text file while preserving the same formatting, etc.
I am using the same schemas for both ends of the transform and know the paragraphs (contained in the <par> tags) are bulleted when their def attribute equals 11 and continue to be bulleted until the next <par> tag at that node level has a def attribute other than 11.
In functional programming terms the obvious thing to use would be an xls:if select='@def='11' followed by an "for-each", processing any subsequent <par> tags and then breaking when def!="", but with XSLT I can't do this. And I can't use the node list because the <par(s)> I want to bullet are at the same node level and only differentiated by their def attribute.
Would any one be able to suggest a possible alternative(s), etc I could take.
Thanks for any help!
