Turns out that the above doesn't *quite* work because
a  div1 may have a sibling that is a div1. Easy enough
problem to fix, though, at least by a combination of
"for-each" and "if". Still, I wish I knew why

<xsl:key name="x" 
match="node()[not(starts-with(name(), div))]"
use="generate-id((..|preceding-sibling::div1|
preceding-sibling::div2|preceding-sibling::div3)[last()])"/>

doesn't work, or why the following doesn't do what the
xsl:key line you gave me does:

<xsl:key name="x"  match="node()"
use="generate-id(..|preceding-sibling::div1[1]|
preceding-sibling::div2[1]|preceding-sibling::div3[1])"/>
