On the other hand, an XSLT-based solution would be usable also outside of Cocoon.
Wait for XSLT2 then, that has grouping specified.
Oh well, I'd better download the thing and have a serious look instead of speculating.Having done a lot of groupings with different methods when I was doing reporting, and having seen the unreadability of the solutions and the slowness, even without looking at the implementation I think it's an excellent idea.

P.S.: Apologies if I sounded skeptic. I'm sure that, coming from Outerthought, it's a great piece of work.
