 Subdividing sets of elements by sequence identifiers
I have an "almost works" situation. The template and simplified input are below. What I want to is "re-wrap images with consecutive image numbers (in my output example "27,28,29") in a new <h6> element for HTML display purposes. To do this,at the beginning of such a sequence, I must close off the <h6> inserted by the current template with a </h6> and open a new <h6>. Here only one sequence is shown, but several are possible within each element.

I suspect I am thinking about this procedurally rather than imperatively, and thus cannot see the forest for the trees. All suggestions appreciated.

Selection from current output:
<List>
<h1>Art on Stamps</h1>
<h2>1993</h2>
<h6>
<a href="../img/1993/5.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="../img/1993/5.jpg" alt="stamp image" width="100" border="2px"></img>
</a>
<!-- ********** need to insert </h6><h6> here ************* -->


<a href="../img/1993/27.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="../img/1993/27.jpg" alt="stamp image" width="100" border="2px"></img>
</a>
<a href="../img/1993/28.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="../img/1993/28.jpg" alt="stamp image" width="100" border="2px"></img>
</a>
<a href="../img/1993/29.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="../img/1993/29.jpg" alt="stamp image" width="100" border="2px"></img>
</a>
</h6>
......
</List>


My Template:
<xsl:template match="Item">

<xsl:for-each-group select="Stamp" group-by="Date/@year">
<xsl:sort select="Date/@year"></xsl:sort>
<h2>
<xsl:value-of select="Date/@year"></xsl:value-of>
</h2>
<h6>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
<xsl:variable name="image" select="concat('../img/', Date/@year, '/', @image-number, '.jpg')"></xsl:variable>
<a href="{$image}" target="_blank">
<img src="{$image}" alt="stamp image" width="100" border="2px"></img>
</a>
</xsl:for-each>
</h6>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
