On the surface it sounds perhaps like a table problem ... when HTML renders 
tables, if you have information not properly wrapped in the table I think 
it gets shown in advance of the table.

By fixing your HTML ... if it works as you wish for the text version, then 
you don't have a problem traversing the XML as you desire, you have a 
problem wrapping the information in your target vocabulary (in this case, 
HTML).

>For totaling, should I just use keys?

No, because you'll have the same problem because using keys only works with 
document-wide scope ... that's the awkwardness when it comes to doing 
subgrouping as subsgrouping cannot easily work with document-wide 
scope.  Just use the variables as they are created.

An example below includes amounts and totals.

I hope this helps.
