... and then realize they're not plain ELE elements, but ELExxx.

That's a bit trickier:

test="not(following-sibling::*[starts-with(local-name(), 'ELE')])"

... yet another reason why it's so much nicer to have

<ELE n="xxx">

than

<ELExxx>

(Personally I can't abide name-munging and name tests, avoiding them 
wherever possible: the language should be doing them for me.)
