Re:  for-each-group - only get elements in each group
I think what you are missing, Graydon, is that the presence of multiple categories of the same value would produce multiple groups using your suggested technique, not a single group for all of the same value of category. Because of that duplication, the group-by= is needed to consolidate the items into a single group for each category.

I hope this is helpful.

I must be missing something -- isn't that case precisely why you have
group-starting-with as an attribute to for-each-group?  So

<xsl:for-each-group select="Cases/Story/*" group-starting-with="Category">
    <!-- process the group -->
</xsl:for-each-group>
