in perl

s% <doc> % <doc><page> %x;
s% </doc> % </page></doc %x;

s% <page-break/> % </page><page> %x;

presumably a similar simple manipulation could be done with xlst, though I
need to read the manual for that which I don't intend to do here.

Hi Luke,

Try something like...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="doc">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="page-break"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="doc/page-break">
<page>
<xsl:variable name="this-id" select="generate-id()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="preceding-sibling::node()[generate-id(following-sibling::page-break)
= $this-id]"/>
</page>
<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::page-break)">
<page>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()"/>
</page>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@* | text() | comment() | processing-instruction()">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
