Hi Ragulf,

How about:

 test="generate-id() = generate-id(preceding-sibling::*[local-name() =
local-name(current())][1]/following-sibling::*[1])"

Which should check that the current node is the element which
immediately follows the nearest preceding-sibling element with the same
local name.  As the check uses * it skips text only nodes.
