Re: for-each-group

The logic is basically:

allocate a grouping key which is effectively:

* for figure elements, a unique key

* for everything else, the local name of the element

then put adjacent elements with the same grouping key into the same group.

Perhaps it would be clearer to write

group-adjacent="if (self::figure) then generate-id() else local-name()"

-- the effect would be the same.
