Can you explain what this code is supposed to be doing? I did not understand 
the more complex xpath expressions you used or the "mode='unmix'" attrib. 
Grouping is not something I am very familiar with because most of what I am 
working on has been straight display of a document text and has not involved 
much in the way this kind of manipulation. I read what I could find about 
grouping following your post but many of the explantions and examples I 
could find do not use it in the way you seemed to have.

I am still in disbelief that something as common as a blockquote was not 
accounted for when XSL was designed. I mean they knew XML would encourage 
get people to properly structure the data (as this is part of the point) and 
they knew that HTML/XHTML did not recognize block level elements inside one 
another. And yet, they crerated a transformation standard with no simple way 
to change one into the other. The result it seems is a "powerful" 
transformation standard that cannot easily transform something as simple as 
a high school term paper or a newspaper article.

I will continue to try to understand the more complex parts of XSl (that 
until now it seems I haven't had to use) and try to decifer your solution. 
While I understand that maybe the solution you offered will work and that I 
am just not doing something right, but it really souldn't be this 
complicated should it?
