My code1:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
               xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               xmlns:f="data:,f"
               exclude-result-prefixes="xs f">

<xsl:output indent="yes" encoding="US-ASCII"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:key name="country" match="affiliation/textfn"
use="parent::affiliation/@id"/>
<xsl:template match="author-group">
    <xsl:for-each-group select="author" group-adjacent="f:country(.)">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
      (<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>)
    </xsl:for-each-group>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="author">
 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="[position() = last() and position() != 1]">
      <xsl:text> and </xsl:text>
      <author><xsl:value-of select="given-name,surname"/></author>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:when test="position() != 1">
      <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
      <author><xsl:value-of select="given-name,surname"/></author>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <author><xsl:value-of select="given-name,surname"/></author>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:function name="f:country" as="xs:string">

</xsl:stylesheet>

With the code I am getting the out put as :
<author>T.Miwa</author>, 	<author>T.Nomura</author>,
<author>J.Sakakibara</author> and <author>H.Shintani</author> (Japan)
<author>B.E.Ungerechts</author> (Germany)

But the desired output is:

<author>T.Miwa</author>, 	<author>T.Nomura</author>,
<author>J.Sakakibara</author>,  <author>H.Shintani</author> (Japan)
and <author>B.E.Ungerechts</author> (Germany)

Means irrespective of the grouping the "and" should be placed before
the last author.

My Code 2:

<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="author-group">
<xsl:if test="author[position() = last() and position() != 1]">
	<xsl:text> and </xsl:text>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="author" group-adjacent="f:country(.)">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
      (<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>)
    </xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="author">
      <author><xsl:value-of select="given-name,surname"/></author>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:function name="f:country" as="xs:string">
 <xsl:param name="a" as="element()"/>
 <xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="$a/cross-ref">
  <xsl:sequence select="key('country',
$a/cross-ref/@refid,root($a))/tokenize(.,',\s+')[last()]"/>
 </xsl:when>
 <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:sequence
select="$a/following-sibling::affiliation[1]/tokenize(.,',\s+')[last()]"/>
 </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>

With the code I am getting the out put as :
and <author>T.Miwa</author>, 	<author>T.Nomura</author>,
<author>J.Sakakibara</author>  <author>H.Shintani</author> (Japan)
<author>B.E.Ungerechts</author> (Germany)

But the desired output is:

<author>T.Miwa</author>, 	<author>T.Nomura</author>,
<author>J.Sakakibara</author>,  <author>H.Shintani</author> (Japan)
and <author>B.E.Ungerechts</author> (Germany)

Please help me in achieving the desired output.
