says:

 a repeat like
 <repeat ref="/products/product">
   <output ref="."/><html:br/>
 </repeat>

 is conceptually similar to
 <group ref="/products/product[1]"><output ref="."/><html:br/></group>
 <group ref="/products/product[2]"><output ref="."/><html:br/></group>
 <group ref="/products/product[3]"><output ref="."/><html:br/></group>
 <group ref="/products/product[4]"><output ref="."/><html:br/></group>

What I realise is that we need agreement on what @class applies to when  
used on a repeat.

If I say
 <repeat class="thing" ref="item">
    <output ref="."/>
 </repeat>

does this mean

 <group class="thing">
    <group ref="item[1]"><output ref="."/></group>
    <group ref="item[2]"><output ref="."/></group>
    <group ref="item[3]"><output ref="."/></group>
 </group>

or

 <group>
    <group class="thing" ref="item[1]"><output ref="."/></group>
    <group class="thing" ref="item[2]"><output ref="."/></group>
    <group class="thing" ref="item[3]"><output ref="."/></group>
 </group>

?

My feeling is for the former, but I'd like to hear your opinion.
