Hmmm--took me a minute to see the boolean(@container) in this line:
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="boolean(@container)">
So that has the effect of creating a group for each continguous sequence of
contained things,
Indeed. In my class I have an explicit example of this because some
students have the preconceived notion that the adjacent values are
somehow obliged to be user data, when in fact the adjacent values can
be any calculated value.
And, then, I tell the students to read <xsl:for-each-group> as if it
were written <xsl:for-the-first-member-of-each-group> so that they
remember what node the current node is ... that way the first node
can be processed directly and the others processed with
current-group()[position()>1] ... there is no need to access
current-group[1] because that is the current node.
which is certainly a characteristic I can impose on my
data (I control both the set of named styles and how they map to the
annotations added the <p> elements in the data being processed).
Excellent.
Given that, I think I should be able to process the group of contained
things with recursive for-each-groups.
Yep!
Good luck.

p.s. for other readers, our Los Angeles class starts in less than two
weeks and we still have room for late registrants (though the hotel
is hounding us for catering numbers, so if you are interested, please
let us know ASAP)
