Actually, I have to exclude an unknown number of elements
before the first DATE, so I amended your suggestion to
<xsl:for-each-group
select="* except /DOC/DATE[1]/preceding-sibling::*"
group-starting-with="DATE"> and it works fine (thanks to Saxon).
The other way to achieve that would be to leave out the "except xxx", in
which case the initial nodes would go in a group of their own, and you could
eliminate that group with a test such as
<xsl:if test="current-group()[1][self::DATE]">
