This type of problem can also be solved more clearly or easily a multi-pass process, for example, doing the group-starting-with to add some wrapper around each group, making it then easier to analyze the groups to put them into some hierarchy or select things from them or whatever. In the Word-to-DITA transform in the DITA for Publisher project I have about 4 phases of analysis applied against the initial Word structures in order to translate it into the same content grouped hierarchically based on a style-to-level mapping specification. It makes heavy use of recursive for-each-group, where each group represents a hierarchical level assigned to "heading" pargraphs (in this case, things that would eventually map to topics in the final DITA result).
