Grouping by name(), and tagging first item of group


Subject: Grouping by name(), and tagging first item of group

I have a file a bit like this, but much larger:

<ROOT>
  <ITEM>Foo</ITEM>
  <ITEM title="This is a title">Bar</ITEM>
  <DIFFERENTITEM>Baz</DIFFERENTITEM>
  <DIFFERENTITEM title="This is a title">Pez</DIFFERENTITEM>
  <ITEM>Tsk.</ITEM>
</ROOT>

I wish to display a default title for the first occurance of
each ROOT/* element, and then list all the elements with that
name().  

I've been hacking around all day, and have no satisfactory,
neat, quick soloution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in anticipation,
