RE: Grouping examples make my head spin

Thanks for your help. What was confusing me was that I misunderstood
this:

<xsl:for-each select="contractors/contractor/contract/@org[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('orgsByOrg',.)[1])]">

to be some sort of value assignment, which I kept thinking it couldn't
be because generate-id() is a function which returns a value, not a variable
which accepts a value. With your help I realize that I was right, it
isn't an assignment, it's an equality test. Now that I grasp that, the
rest follows naturally.
