Perhaps I don't understand your structure, but I don't understand why you're
trying to group a list of chapters by chapter - surely you'll end up with
one chapter in each group? Why can't you just do <xsl:for-each
select="$chapters">?

I don't know why each group contains all the notes for the entire book, but
I suspect it's an error in the template that gets invoked by the
apply-templates call that you've shown us.
