RE:  Help on XSL to tranform simple flat xml sequential
In XSLT 2.0 you can do

<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="para[@role='title']">
  <paragraph>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
  </paragraph> 
</xsl:for-each-group>

In 1.0 it's rather harder - google for "XSLT positional grouping".
