Thanks for the encouragement. I can't really say that I will be able to
spend any more time on this, but it seemed like there should be a
relatively simple tale-recursive solution. (which is what the third
template below name="nextsib") really is. The rest is just wrapping.

Michael,
I think you'll have found, trying your code on (e.g.) the sample I
supplied, the below is a work in progress. :->
Nonetheless it's good to see that another bear has been caught by this
honey of a problem. Eventually with so many smart people working on
it, it is bound to become more tractable. (I already put in my $0.02:
it's a job for a streaming transform, SAX-style, not XSLT.) Let us
know as you make progress on its deeper aspects.
Cheers,
Wendell

I started thinking about this, and I think I have an approach
somewhere in between the JITT and the BUVH. Its pretty simple,
actually, so I am wondering if there is a reason that this didn't
already come up. I can't really play around with it anymore, but
this might be a step...
