Re: [xsl] XTTE1100: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the @group-adjacent attribute

[Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

     select="*" group-adjacent="string-join(descendent::*/local-name(),' ')"

this treats the following two fragments as belonging to the same
group, and I believe Ihe doesn't want this:

 <B>
     <C/>
     <D/>
  </B>

and

 <B>
     <C>
       <D>
    </C>
  </B>
