Re: Put a wrapper around a series of elements

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="a">
  <a>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </a>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b">
    <xsl:if test="not(name(preceding-sibling::*[1])='b')">
      <bset>
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" mode="set"/>
      </bset>      
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b" mode="set">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" mode="set"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="set"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


It needs some more work to make it really general, but I hope it
will give you some ideas.
