number collapsing

xsl is number
Awhile back I got help from the list working on a function to collapse page numbers (e.g. 455-456 becomes 455-56).*

I now have a related issue, which I'm now sure how to tackle:

In numeric style citations, the in-text markers look like [1]. If one has multiple references, then, you'd get [1, 2, 3].

So how can I get [1-3] or (in some cases) [1-3, 5]?

* here it is:

<xsl:function name="bib:number-condense">
<xsl:param name="begin"/>
<xsl:param name="end"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$begin castable as xs:integer">
<xsl:variable name="begin" select="$begin" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$begin gt 100 and $begin mod 100 and $begin idiv 100 eq $end idiv 100">
<xsl:value-of select="$end mod 100"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$end"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$end"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
