Lars,
Now I'm putting 2 + 2 together and seeing that you're showing why the code
I offered yesterday doesn't work. :->
Which leaves me wondering whether an XPath-based solution is even possible
(in XPath 1.0). Unfortunately, I will have to ponder that while I work on
other things.... :-(
Cheers,
Wendell

In order for your code to work, current() in the select expression
of a for-each loop must refer to the <item> node currently being
tested for whether it gets selected, right?
If so, is this the way xsl:for-each / xpath work?
I realize that INSIDE the for-each, current() refers to the node
currently being processed, but is that also true in the select
expression of the for-each? Or does current() there refer to
the context node outside the for-each?
