Check out my contribution to the list at 
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200012/msg00138.html and 
Jeni's improvements at 
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200012/msg00175.html.

This is basically a grouping problem. The secret is to think of the problem 
not as  working by "closing the logical structure at the right place", but 
by correctly identifying which nodes go into which logical structure, and 
pulling just those nodes in when you create it.

Keys are great for this. Attributes are a bit of a red herring: they make 
your problem different only in that you will be using them to help identify 
your key values.

I hope that's enough of a tip --
Wendell
