OK, I've added @lineId back into the source and updated my example to
include a solution to the following problem:  We want each row's <th>
to contain the @lineId of the first <data section='changes'/> in each
group.  IOW, we need the @lineId of the next <data/> element following
the node selected by <xsl:apply-templates/> (@lineId+1), because it's
the same problem as before.

So this answer extends the example already given, by adding the number()
function.  Since this value will always exist, it's a logical choice for
row headings, because it allows the use of the Basic algorithm for
<table> markup -- which is always the most desirable solution to any
table design, if possible.  So this is an improvement to the example,
using an existing source-file attribute.

Always happy to help, let me know if this goes far enough.
