.. I have an XML Structure  that looks something like this:

This is your problem.  Your <BookName ... > elements don't have an
Author attribute, which would make the solution trivial.  With what
you have, you will need to guarantee that your books are all grouped
by author and do some ugly stuff to check when a new Author is seen.

If you can change your <BookName> elements to contain an author, I would
recommend that.  Especially since the name attribute seems to have the
author embedded in it right now.

.. <Books>
.. 	<Author name="Author1" Specialist="Fiction" />
.. 	<BookName name="Author1Book1" Type="Fiction" />
.. 	<BookName name="Author1Book2" Type="General"/>
.. 	<BookName name="Author1Book3" Type="Biography"/>
.. 	<BookName name="Author1Book4" Type="Fiction"/>
.. 	<Author name="Author2" Specialist="General" />
.. 	<BookName name="Author2Book1" Type="Fiction"/>
.. 	<BookName name="Author2Book2" Type="Fiction"/>
.. 	<BookName name="Author2Book3" Type="Biography"/>
.. 	<BookName name="Author2Book4" Type="General"/>
.. </Books>
..
.. Now if I have to display the XSL by categorizing from the 'Type' attribute
.. of <BookName>, for example I want to display all the books that belong to
.. the 'Fiction' Category of Author1, inspite of Author1 having other types of
.. books, then how will I achieve it?
