It sounds like what you want is multi-level grouping - see this:
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200101/msg00070.html.
hope it helps - it's basically the same as simple grouping only the value
for the 'use' part of the key is a concatenation of values, one for each
level - like numbering sections 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1 etc.
