Thank you Jörg, this seems elegant, two questions though.

> <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
>    <xsl:copy>
>      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
>    </xsl:copy>
> </xsl:template>

1) Why the above template rather than the simpler
<xsl:template match="container">, I'm especially puzzled by the <xsl:copy> (I'm a newbie).

> <xsl:template match="container/text()">
>    <sub-container>
>      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
>    </sub-container>
> </xsl:template>
> 
> <xsl:template match="separator"/>

2) Well I do not know if it is "instead", I meant "or". Is mixed content contardictory with several nodes (text and elements)?

I looked and found a message with this title but the way I understand it added structure using the attributes, I do not see how this helps with the grouping.

Any help welcome.
