To include text nodes or any nodes in the grouping population you need
to use /node() instead of /* in the path for the select.

The only issue might be the text node before the first span, perhaps
using /node()[normalize-space()] is better or inside of the
for-each-group you need to check whether you have a "real" group
starting with a "span" or just collected leading text.
