This isn't easy in XSL: there are examples of how to achieve it on some of the tutorial sites, but they may be quite inefficient. If you want an easier way and don't mind departing from standard XSLT, SAXON has some suitable extensions. It has a saxon:group construct designed to solve the problem directly, and it also has a saxon:assign construct allowing you to modify variables and therefore to implement the algorithm you described.
