Sorry if my code was wrong - it does happen! But I can assure you the
principle was sound, it just needs debugging. If you need help debugging it,
it's best if you can post the code as it now stands, because few people are
likely to have the energy to go through the archives.

If you've got a path expression like current-group()/w:p/w:r/w:t that is't
returning anything, quite a good diagnostic technique is to do

<debug>
  <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
</debug>

which will often reveal where the misunderstanding arose.

Even better, of course, is to write a schema-aware stylesheet in which case
you'll often get an explanation at compile time when you've written a path
expression that can't select anything.
