How about for-each-groups?

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) }

Hi All,
Here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<chapter>
<title>Title</title>
<intro>
<p>Intro</p>
</intro>
<section></section>
<section></section>
<section></section>
</chapter>
My context node is the <chapter> element. I want to select everything up to
and including the first <section>. I am trying this
//chapter/*[not(self::section[position()>1])]
but it selects all of the children of chapter. In the above example, I am
trying to select all of the children except the last two sections. Thank you
in advance.
