But it's probably O(n^3) in the number of siblings, so don't try it if
there's a large fanout.

Also the original post asked for all the elem_2's to be output: this code
surely omits the last one?

A 2.0 solution that's likely to be more efficient is

<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-by="local-name()">
  <xsl:if test="current-group()[2]">
    <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

(However, this doesn't preserve the order of the children. The OP didn't say
whether that was a requirement.)
