But the problem I get with the 'summary' I want to produce using the statistics.xsl stylesheet, which looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="entry/statistics">

<xsl:for-each select=".">

That for-each select="." does not achieve anything.

<xsl:variable name="end"><xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::statistics[1]/time"/></xsl:variable>

The "statistics" element does not have preceding sibling elements of the same name, I think you want
<xsl:variable name="end"
select="../preceding-sibling::entry[1]/statistics/time"/>

<xsl:variable name="start"><xsl:value-of select="time"/></xsl:variable>

Doing
         <xsl:variable name="start" select="time"/>
is shorter, easier and more efficient.
