RE: [xsl] Splitting data into smaller groups for HTML output.

Sorry: I left that expression blank because I hadn't kept the message where
you gave your source document structure. It's just the collection of all the
items you want to put in the div elements. The same expression as you would
put in <xsl:for-each select="..."/> if you were displaying them without
grouping.
