Dear Martin,

this looks great, thank you!  - the only downside is that the input to
this grouping attempt is a variable containing the input. So I fear I
can't use <template match="text"> here. I think I would need a new
transformation document in the pipeline with this attempt - which I
would love to avoid. - Or am I mistaken?

Kind regards,
Stefanie
