^^^ what is that ?  ^^^^^^

It's not xml... its rubbish in so many ways.  How hard is it to put
together a small complete sample... if anyone wanted to use that
sample they would need to spend 5 mins correcting it first, then more
time wading through the redundant namespaces and nesting for this
problem.  You could just use:

<root>
  <foo val="para"/>
  <foo val="feature"/>
  <foo val="feature/>
  <foo val="feature"/>
</root>

You just need a for-each-group selecting the elements you want to
group, using group-adjacent to select the common thing to group on:

<xsl:for-each-group select="w:p"
group-adjacent="w:pPr/w:pStyle/@w:val/starts-with(., 'Feature')">
