Re:  Navigating <xsl:for-each-group> groups
Hi,

Or (the same again)

preceding-sibling::*[current-group() intersect .]

or more explicitly

preceding-sibling::*[exists(current-group() intersect .]

These are getting at the set backwards, and will depend on things
being kept in relative (document) order. While this is a neat trick,
the check against position() inside for-each select="current-group()"
is more robust since it will work whatever group you have, however
composed in whatever order given.

<xsl:for-each-group ...>

<xsl:variable name="this-group" select="current-group()"/>
<group>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$this-group" mode="group-member">
    <xsl:with-param name="group" select="$this-group"/>
</group>
</xsl:apply-templates/>

Then the receiving template in mode "group-member" knows to compare
position() inside $group for relative position within the group.

(And this will work as long as you apply templates to all of them at once.)

Kind of a fun problem.

Cheers, Wendell
