This is a standard grouping problem, see
www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping
(It's also much easier in xslt2 draft (eg saxon8) which has specific
grouping constructs for this case.)

Basically you want to group all elements by the value of 

generate-id((.|preceding-sibling::p)[@class='foo][last()])
