RE: problem using last() within <xsl:for-each-group>

xsl for each last
I've just tried this. There's incorrect output for last() in Saxon 8.1, but
it's fine in later releases (8.2 and 8.3).

The reason current() doesn't output anything is that the string-value of all
your element nodes is a zero-length string.

I've taken the liberty of adding this to my test collection - please be
aware that anything sent to this list may turn up in all sorts of places in
the future!
