Is there any way to select or process the siblings
in
between one top-level <div*> and the next,
especially
with something that only uses XPath 1.0?

Yes this is a grouping problem, see the usual places

one way:
<xsl:key name="x" match="node()"
use="generate-id((..|preceding-sibling::div1|
preceding-sibling::div2|preceding-sibling::div3)[last()])"/>
Then
sitting on the parent
for-each select=".|div1|div2|div3"
the requested set of nodes is
key('x',generate-id(.))
Turns out that the above doesn't *quite* work because
a div1 may have a sibling that is a div1. Easy enough
problem to fix, though, at least by a combination of
"for-each" and "if". Still, I wish I knew why
<xsl:key name="x"
match="node()[not(starts-with(name(), div))]"
use="generate-id((..|preceding-sibling::div1|
preceding-sibling::div2|preceding-sibling::div3)[last()])"/>
doesn't work, or why the following doesn't do what the
xsl:key line you gave me does:
<xsl:key name="x" match="node()"
use="generate-id(..|preceding-sibling::div1[1]|
preceding-sibling::div2[1]|preceding-sibling::div3[1])"/>
