[xsl] Problem with grouping the handling of sibling nodes

[Olaf Meske <omeske@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I try to convert some special tags into some more regular tags.
I have something like <starttag/>sometext<endtag/>, but starttag and 
endtag are tags without content, the content is the sometext.

So I have an example xml and a suggestion for an xsl, but it does not work.

The example xsl runs mostly within XMLSpy but I have to use Saxon8 in my 
application, and that gave me an exception.
I try to stripp the xsl until it runs with saxon, but than I lost almost 
of my functionality.

So If someone could give me an advice how to do this with saxon or what 
else to do.
I I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

Regards
Olaf

Here are the XML (tinytest.xml)
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="tinytest.xsl"?>
<document>
	<story>Test text with
	<tabcontent>
	<row>
		<cell>cell 1</cell>
		<cell>cell 2<start type="1"/>TEST TAG TEXT<end endfor="start"/></cell>
		<cell>cell 3<start type="5"/>TEST TAG TEXT<end endfor="start"/> </cell>
	</row>
	</tabcontent> more <start type="2"/>TEST TAG TEXT<end endfor="start"/>
	if TEST  <start type="3"/><test desc="should be removed"/>TEST TAG
	<test1 desc="should be removed">also trash</test1><end 
endfor="start"/>would need.
	And another test text TEST TAG TEXT with some regex markup.
	<start type="4"/>TEST TAG TEXT<end endfor="start"/></story>
</document>

and the XSL (tinytest.xsl)
