RE: Grouping a sequence of elements in different ways

I think the answer is to capture the result of the first grouping operation
in a variable, and then apply the second operation to this variable.
Somthing like:

<xsl:template match = "body/div" >
  <xsl:variable name="temp" as="element()*">
    <xsl:for-each-group select = "current-group()" 
         group-adjacent = "name()='p' and @class='bulletedlist'">
        <xsl:apply-templates select = "." mode = "itemizedlist" />
     </xsl:for-each-group>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:for-each-group select = "$temp" group-starting-with =
"p[@class='head1']" >
  </xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>

(But I haven't tried to understand the detail)
