Yet for me, Muenchian grouping is "easy", but then again, I
have had my share of XSLT 1.0 grouping challenges. For just about any
programming pattern, using it becomes "easy" once you grasp its
principles, but if you've never used it, the abstractness of a pattern
may make it hard to grasp at first.

For a quote from Michael Kay, here is one that I found
(http://www.oxygenxml.com/archives/xsl-list/200412/msg01020.html) when
googling his name and Muenchian grouping, where he writes:

"Muenchian grouping makes it easy to group on the result of any path
expression, e.g. [....]"

But surely, that doesn't mean it is "easy" for everyone ;).


Well the man is here himself but actually that doesn't say that
Muenchian grouping is easy. It says it makes certain things easy.

Easy, intuitive - hmmm for me I would always have to read about it to
grok it again before doing it. We have our own subjective determinants
of what is easy and intuitive.
