Beyond all these suggestions, I always create functions that return grouping
and sort keys as the logic could be much more sophisticated, especially if you
bring in locale-aware processing.
Cheers,

I'd use a Unicode character category match for this:
<xsl:for-each-group select="glossentry"
group-by="(substring(upper-case(glossterm),1,1)[matches(.,'\p{Lu}')],'NON-LETTER-GROUP')[1]">
<topicref navtitle="{current-grouping-key()}" toc="no">
...
</topicref>
</xsl:for-each-group>
What you put in for "NON-LETTER-GROUP" might depend on where or how
you're sorting the glossary entries.
