RE: [xsl] Grouping multiple tags into one parent tag

You can't do this grouping in the template rule for body elements, because
that template is only processing one body element at a time. It needs to be
done in template rule for the parent element. And the way you do it depends
on whether that parent element contains other things besides body elements.
