[xsl] Sort, group, flatten, consecutive data

["Midnit" <midnit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is my first post here; I apologize if it's inappropriate.

I'm attempting to flatten and consolidate this XML document. In short I
would sort by DETAIL_ID and PRODUCTIONDAY, then group up based on the RATE,
outputting BEGINDAY and ENDDAY to represent the date range the RATE covered.
Though not shown in this example of data, there will be a record for every
day in the month so sorting by PRODUCTIONDAY will always produce consecutive
rows. I have no problem flattening the data but the attempts I've made at
grouping the data have failed miserably. All the examples I have found use
preceding-sibling and following-sibling which doesn't apply for my data, at
least that's my assumption. I have also tried using keys but I have run into
similar problems.

I am using XSLT 1.0.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What is the equiv of
following-sibling for my DETAIL_ID's?

Rough example of output:

<ROWS>
	<ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570"
BEGINDAY="3/1/2004" ENDDAY="3/2/2004" RATE="0.02"/>
	<ROW CONTRACT_ID="351" CONTRACT_NUMBER="555" DETAIL_ID="570"
BEGINDAY="3/3/2004" ENDDAY="3/5/2004" RATE="0.01"/>
</ROWS>
