As Juliane says (hello Juliane), the xsl-list is a better place for this
kind of question.
Google for "XSLT positional grouping" to find examples of how to solve this
problem.
You need to understand that XSLT is writing a tree, it's not writing begin
and end tags. <ul></ul> is one instruction that writes one element node to
the result tree, it's not two instructions that write two tags. You can't
split it up: that would involve writing half a node to the result tree.
