A select="." on for-each-group is an attempt to group a single element
and if the group-by="@uri" selects a single grouping key value I fail to
understand what that whole attempt is about.

Same here, a single element grouped by its single @uri attribute value
simply processes that single element.
Grouping doesn't make sense on a single element with a single grouping
key, in my understanding.
