The value of group-starting-with is a pattern that must match a node in the
population. Since the population consists of Item elements, none of them
match the pattern RepresentationTerm[.='Code']. Use
group-starting-with="Item[RepresentationTerm='Code']"
A bit of a gotcha - only this morning I found someone doing select="para"
group-by="para/title". Oh for a context-free language!

Subject: [xsl] Grouping using group-starting-with=
Hi folks,
I'm using Saxon 8.8J and I'm trying to group a bunch of
sibling items into groups of items that start with the item
that has a particular child with a particular value.
It would seem that the following does not work:
<xsl:for-each-group select="/*/Item"
group-starting-with="RepresentationTerm[.='Code']">
Looking at XSLT 2.0, group-starting-with= requires the
population to all be nodes, and there are a number of nodes
that match the pattern test supplied ... yet running the
example I am only getting a single group ... which I suspect
is just the first node in the population.
I'm missing something obvious ... could someone please point
me to the correct chapter and verse?
I have my example below of test data and stylesheet ... my
real data has much more information and more representation
terms, but it should still be the same.
Thanks!
