RE: sibling axis: can't restrict

Well if I understand what you want, you're test is not correct:

<xsl:when test="following-sibling::ead[1]">

actually means "If the au node has at least 1 following-sibling
named ead -- it's not finding the first sibling node, but the first
ead sibling node. What you want is something more like this (untested):

<xsl:when test="following-sibling::*[1][name()='ead']">

This means find the first following sibling and test the name, if 
it's ead, then continue.
