or at least:

if  (lower-case(substring(@word,1,1)) = ('D
', 'E','E!','E>') ...

which could then be:

<xsl:variable name="seq" select="('D
', 'E','E!','E>')" as="xs:string+"/>

with:

if  (lower-case(substring(@word,1,1)) = $seq

It would be interesting to know how 'group by' gets evaluated, if its
once per item in the select this sort of tweak might make a
difference...
