XSLT 2.0 Future enhancement suggestion

A use case came up on the mulberry xsl-list today for turning an input sequence
supplied in the form into a true hierarchy

<start/>
<item/>
<item/>
<start/>
<item/>
<end/>
<item/>
<end/>

It occurs to me that there is no reason why we shouldn't allow
group-starting-with and group-ending-with attributes to coexist on
xsl:for-each-group; it would be a simple change to remove this restriction, and
would make the solution for this use case much more natural.
