RE: Error: when distance between section definitions

If you can't solve this using sibling recursion, and can't move to XSLT 2.0,
you might try to tackle it using a different positional grouping technique.
Define a key for each of the elements that's the generate-id() of the most
recent preceding sibling that matches "Point A" or "Point B". Then do
Muenchian grouping using this key.
