Re: [xsl] Grouping by attribute

<quote> tags were occuring inside <p> tags, which they are not allowed
to do. Initially <quote> tags are the only thing I need to move out of
<p>. So:

<body>
  <!-- case 1 -->
  <p>text<p>

  <!-- case 2 -->
  <quote>
    text
    <p>text</p>
    text
    <span>text</span>
  </quote>

  <!-- case 3 -->

  <p><quote>text</quote></p>

  <!-- case 4 -->

  <p>
    text
    <quote>text</quote>
    text
    <span>text</quote>
    text
  </p>
</body>

should become:

<body>
  <!-- case #1 -->
  <p>text</p>

  <!-- case #2 -->
  <quote>
    text
    <p>text</p>
    text
    <span>text</span>
  </quote>

  <!-- case #3 -->
  <quote>text</quote>

  <!-- case #4 result #1 -->

  <p>text</p>
  <quote>text</quote>
  <p>
    text
    <span>text</span>
    text
  </p>
</body>

I'm not sure if the last p actually turns into three p's:

  <!-- case #4 result #2 -->
  <p>text</p>
  <p><span>text</span></p>
  <p>text</p>

Result #1 would be best, but result #2 this is also acceptable. I'll
check tomorrow what is actually happening. In any case, it validates
against the DTD used and the result is working as expected.

equivalently, "p/text()"), you succeed in splitting out all the text node
children of p from their sibling elements. But your problem specification
didn't actually say this was what you wanted to do -- and the problem of
splitting only some of the elements is at least as common.
