Thank you all, I didn't recognise it as a grouping problem, I was fixated on
the idea expressed by my post's subject.

It's usually easier to help people if they show us what they have so far;
your's is a grouping problem, see
<http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/>.
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="block"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="block">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" mode="group"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item" mode="group">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" mode="group"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="group"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
