Re:  Copy and group XML
Thanks Michael, it fixed one problem but introduced another.

Input XML:
<play>
 <title>MACBETH</title>
 <scene act="1">
  <stage-direction>A wild open place. Thunder and lightning. Three
Witches enter.</stage-direction>
  <actor>1ST WITCH</actor>
  <speach>When shall we three meet again</speach>
  <speach>In thunder, lightning, or in rain?</speach>
  <actor>2ND WITCH</actor>
  <speach>When the rough-and-tumble's done,</speach>
  <speach>When the battle's lost and won.</speach>
....
</scene act="1">
....
</play>

Transformation:
    <xsl:template match="play">
    <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="(@act, '?')[1]">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="@act">
                <act>
                    <xsl:copy>
                        <xsl:apply-templates  select="@*|node()"/>
                    </xsl:copy>
                </act>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:copy>
                    <xsl:apply-templates  select="@*|node()"/>
                </xsl:copy>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

Result:
Only the first scene of every act grouping is copied. The other scenes
are dropped. Why would this be?
