Re: [xsl] Grouping problem

In your example output, where should the pair:

<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>

go?

Hello mega brains,

I have an xml grouping problem that has so far defeated me.

Given the xml
<pairings>
<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player2</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player3</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player2</player>
      <player>player3</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player2</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player3</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>
</pairings>

is it possible to group pairs such that each player occurs only once in each
group?
<table>
<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player2</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player3</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>
</table>
<table>
<pair>
      <player>player1</player>
      <player>player3</player>
</pair>
<pair>
      <player>player2</player>
      <player>player4</player>
</pair>
</table>

I was of the opinion that some form of xsl:for-each-group would suffice but
have been unable to devise a group-by expression that works..
   <xsl:for-each-group select="pairings/pair"
group-by="count(distinct-values(player))=1">
     <table>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group() "/>
     </table>
   </xsl:for-each-group>

Many thanks

Hector
