RE: [xsl] Transforming non structured XML into structured XML with XSLT

["Michael Kay" <mhkay at iclway dot co dot uk>]

You'll find out all about doing grouping in XSLT at
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping.

But for a problem like this, if you know Java, it's an awful lot easier to
write a SAX filter that does the job.
