I've run into a structure that I must transform that I just
haven't found a solution for. XSL 1.0 only. (I just don't
have the proficiency for 2.0 yet).
I think you've got that the wrong way around. With positional grouping in
XSLT 2.0 (<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="title">) this is quite an
easy problem. In XSLT 1.0 you need to write recursive templates, which
requires a much higher level of proficiency in the language.

I'm transforming what was a rather flat SGML structure to an
XML structure. Here's the input structure:
<gen>
<title>TITLE_1</title>
<subtitle>SUBTITLE_1</subtitle>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<title>TITLE_2</title>
<subtitle>SUBTITLE_2</subtitle>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<title>TITLE_2</title>
<subtitle>SUBTITLE_2</subtitle>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
</gen>
Resulting structure tree:
<para0>
<title>TITLE_1</title>
<subpara1>
<title>SUBTITLE_1</title>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
</subpara1>
</para0>
<para0>
<title>TITLE_2</title>
<subpara1>
<title>SUBTITLE_2</title>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
</subpara1>
</para0>
<para0>
<title>TITLE_3</title>
<subpara1>
<title>SUBTITLE_3</title>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
<para>Text.</para>
</subpara1>
</para0>
My template (or at least the important part).
<xsl:template match="gen/title" mode="move">
<para0>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</title>
<subpara1>
<title><xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::subtitle[1]"/></title>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::para"/>
</subpara1>
</para0>
My problem is with the <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::para"/> line. Of course, all of
the para elements are following siblings of all the gen/title
elements. How can I express the <apply-templates> to process
only the para element siblings BEFORE the next following
title sibling. (This is difficult because EVERYTHING is a
sibling of everything else).
