Re: Grouping problem?

Well perhaps I've found a solution...it appears to be working anyhow.  Any 
comments would be welcome.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:key name="groupByTen"
          match="ele"
          use="ceiling(sum(preceding-sibling::ele/@sum|@sum) div 10)"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="ele">
   <xsl:variable name="sum" 
select="sum(preceding-sibling::ele/@sum|@sum)"/>
   <xsl:if test="generate-id(key('groupByTen',ceiling($sum div 10))[1]) = 
generate-id(.) and
                 position() != 1">
     <br/>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
