RE: Matching two consecutive <br><br>

don't use name() in these kinds of tests:
name(following-sibling::node()[1])='br'
use
following-sibling::node()[1][self::br]

But this does not work for Xalan 2. 

looks correct to me, when you say it didn't work, what did it 
do? error? wrong answer?

My guess is that there was a whitespace text node between the two <BR/>
elements, which MSXML silently ignored. You can replicate this behavior in a
conformant XSLT processor using <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>, but you
probably don't want to, because it will also strip the space in

Safer is to refine the test to be:

following-sibling::node()[not(self::text()[not(normalize-space(.))][1][self:
:br]
