It seems, if you want grouping, then for-each-group
group-ending-with="section" is easier:

 B  <xsl:template match="chapter">
 B B B  <root>
 B B B B B  <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-ending-with="section">
 B B B B B B B  <file>
 B B B B B B B B B  <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
 B B B B B B B  </file>
 B B B B B  </xsl:for-each-group>
 B B B  </root>
 B  </xsl:template>
