It seems that when the solution requires a two pass one done all in
one stylesheet, I have difficulty getting my head around it. From what
I can see yours is basically similar to Gerrit's but uses an element
in a my: namespace.  You group starting with my:text (which surrounds
the whitespace)...

Where Gerrit took the value of current-group when the
current-grouping-key was a true boolean, you do a copy-of but then
select the nodes inside the self::my:text .... that confused me for a
bit and I'm not sure I don't see why you don't just do <xsl:value-of
select="self::my:text"/> (hrmm, that I say 'just' here is probably
unfair, they both work out as the same thing.) This works because
you're doing group-starting-with() so you know the first thing in the
group is the my:text node.

These things are  starting to make my brain melt less than previously,
which is a start I guess.

Many thanks!
