[xsl] Including an attribute discriminator in the for-each-group's group-by attribute

I have two elements that differ only by attribute. My for-each-group code currently considers them to be identical, so I need to distinguish them by their attributes as well as their text node. I do not know enough about XPath yet to construct a proper current-grouping-key(). (I'm reading Michael Kay's 4th edition, but have not covered the XPath section yet). Everything I have tried with | @* has failed.

The two elements that need to be distinguished are:

<Heading entry="author">Hahn, Henry</Heading>
<Heading entry="subject">Hahn, Henry</Heading>

The code snippet is:

<xsl:for-each-group select="Item" group-by="Heading" collation="{$sorting-collation}">
<xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()" collation="{$sorting-collation}"/>



Thanks,
Mark
