Had a look at it. You suggested there:

How will this work with my example given? The grouping is certainly not
a flat one on sibling level, but nested, with inlines like <strong> and
<em> needing to be pushed down, crossing their way with <ul> and <li>
needing to be pulled up. I know that I will need grouping in the
solution (I can use XSLT2, btw.), but it seems not to be the single key
technique in solving my problem - or is it?

I'm sorry for the confusion I created with my "alternate subject" line.
The target is *not* XHTML, but a custom language not supporting the HTML
<div> rendering semantics, so just passing on the difficult stuff to the
rendering component later in the tool chain is not an option in my case.
