Doing the apply-templates on the group to use existing templates sounds 
like the right idea, I don't know why it did not work.
I only put in a mode to allow a processing step different from the 
normal handling.

Well thinking about it imperatively like "to do something at the end of 
each group" is not the right approach with a declarative language but 
the for-each-group contains a sequence constructor evaluated for each 
group and if you want to generate some output at the end of the sequence 
then do that by putting the instruction right before the closing 
</xsl:for-each-group>, that's right.
