Hi Eliot,
Yeah, sibling recursion was something we had to resort to before we had native grouping constructs, to allow XSLT to see structural relations where it only had contiguity. These days, grouping-based solutions using group-adjacent, group-starting-with and group-ending-with are available; they are much easier to get one's head around and much much easier to abstract, generalize, encapsulate and maintain, which you are very much likely to want. As a consequence, sibling recursion of the classic sort is hardly necessary in XSLT 2.0. Structural induction becomes a special kind of grouping problem.
