Liam,

I tried as="xs:string” and the attribute shortcut you indicated, but
got the same empty result. 
As noted in my response to my own query, I changed the for-each-
group() to group-starting-with, which put parts 2 and 3 in the same
xsl:when part of the xsl:choose, allowing me to access the variable.

Yeah, i see, the variable's value depends on a div's @class that won't
be there when  you're in othe otherwise case.

(i tend to focus on unusual constructs first, before looking more
deeply)

However, using  as= attributes on variables,  functions, params, is
generally  a good idea & will catch a lot of bugs quickly :)
