It does for me: one match gets filtered out. Are you sure you left
LibreOffice after making a change to the grammar.xml file?
Yes, only then is LT reloaded and the difference noticed.
The benefit of rulegroup is lumping rules as one option.
Anyway, here's what I've done:
<rulegroup id="WHETHER" name="Shorten to 'whether'">
<rule>
<pattern>
<token>the</token>
<token>question</token>
<token>as</token>
<token>to</token>
<token>whether</token>
<token>or</token>
<token>not</token>
</pattern>
<message>Shorten '\1 \2 \3 \4 \5 \6 \7'.</message>
<suggestion>\5</suggestion>
<suggestion>\5 \6 \7</suggestion>
<suggestion>\3 \4 \5</suggestion>
<suggestion>\1 \2 \5</suggestion>
<suggestion>\3 \4 \5 \6 \7</suggestion>"
<short>Wordiness</short>
<example type="incorrect"><marker>The question as to whether or
not</marker> it is difficult is not our concern.</example>
<example type="correct">Whether it is difficult is not
our concern.</example>
</rule>
<rule>
<pattern>
<token>as</token>
<token>to</token>
<token>whether</token>
<token>or</token>
<token>not</token>
</pattern>
<message>Shorten "\1 \2 \3 \4 \5".</message>
<suggestion>\3</suggestion>
<suggestion>\3 \4 \5</suggestion>
<suggestion>\1 \2 \3</suggestion>
<short>Wordiness</short>
<example type="incorrect">We are not concern <marker>as to whether or
not</marker> it is difficult.</example>
<example type="correct">We are not concern whether it is
difficult.</example>
</rule>
<rule>
<pattern>
<token>as</token>
<token>to</token>
<token>whether</token>
</pattern>
<message>Shorten "\1 \2 \3" to just
"<suggestion>\3</suggestion>", or rephrase the sentence to avoid \1
\2.</message>
<short>Possible wordiness</short>
<example correction="whether" type="incorrect">As to
whether it is difficult, it is not our concern.</example>
<example type="correct">We are not concern whether it is
difficult.</example>
</rule>
<rule>
<pattern>
<token>whether</token>
<token>or</token>
<token>not</token>
</pattern>
<message>Perhaps you can shorten "\1 \2 \3" to just
"<suggestion>\1</suggestion>". It is correct though if you mean
'regardless of whether'.</message>
<short>Possible wordiness</short>
<example correction="whether" type="incorrect">What
the government decides to do depends on <marker>whether or
not</marker> the bill passes.</example>
<example type="correct">What the government decides to do
depends on whether the bill passes.</example>
</rule>
</rulegroup>
