Splendid
Phil's solution is just the "stopper" i was looking for.

I leave to some other day I tackling the problem of generalizing the
solution to attribute values that are not numerically incremental in the
XML file to be transformed. Sebastian Rahtz solution using XT's node-set
extension (found under "grouping and sorting" in the FAQ was very
useful in guiding my steps to the point where Phil Lanch's proposal
came to the rescue.
