If the designer of the XML has been thoughtful enough to put a <list></list> element around the group, then this capability is not needed, because I can achieve everything I want while processing the <list> element. Where it is needed is with a structure like <list><heading>...</heading> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> </list> Solving the problem by conditional logic on the first and last element of the group doesn't solve the problem if the two bits of conditional logic are unable to "collaborate" to produce a single flow object.
