hmph the mathml version of the xmlspec stylesheets have always used 
grouping techniques to group the children of p elements and lift any 
block level children out of the p, I posted the diffs at the time(s)
but I don't think they were picked up. looking at the changes there is 
an intersting history of grouping techniques. Originally (back in 
1998/9) it used some form of sibling recursion, then I switched it to 
Muenchian grouping, and the current version uses for-each-group:-)

To answer the original question

Most working groups have modified version of the xmlspec dtd and 
stylesheets but the original guide is
