Erm... I wonder if you mean

    <xsl:for-each select="a">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::b[generate-id(preceding-sibling::a[1]) = generate-id(current()) ]"/>
    </xsl:for-each>

I.e. you want to group b elements according to their previous a element. See Jeni's pages on grouping <http://jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/>.
