Re: [xsl] Select everything up to and including the first <section>

I've always regretted that we don't have operators "until" 
"until-and-including". But with 3.0 you can implement them as 
higher-order-functions:

declare function until-and-including ($seq, $condition) {
  head($seq), until-and-including(tail($seq)[$condition(head($seq))], 
$condition)
}
return up-to-and-including(*, function($x){ boolean(self::section) }
