This solution will work only if the child "element"s have all unique
"id" attributes.

For example, when applied on the following source xml:

<elems> 
  <elem id="1">  
    <elem id="1"/>  
    <elem id="2"/> </elem> 
  <elem id="1">  
    <elem id="2"/> </elem> 
  <elem id="1">  
    <elem id="2"/> </elem> 
  <elem id="1">  
    <elem id="3"/> </elem> 
  <elem id="2">  
    <elem id="1"/> </elem> 
  <elem id="2">  
    <elem id="2"/> </elem> 
</elems>


the result of the transformation is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<elems>
   <elem id="1">  
    
      <elem id="1"/>  
    
      <elem id="2"/>   
    
      <elem id="2"/>   
    
      <elem id="2"/>   
    
      <elem id="3"/> 
   </elem>
   <elem id="2">  
    
      <elem id="1"/>   
    
      <elem id="2"/> 
   </elem>
</elems>

Probably I misunderstand the problem, but I think that the
re-structuring had to be accompanied by elimination of elements with
non-unique "id" attributes.
