Basically there are two things I need to figure out:
<term> which has the <title> that equals the <narrowerterm> of the current <term>.I hope this is clear enough. I have not been able to find what I need for some time.
<thesaurus>
<term>
<title>defense</title>
<narrowerterm>defense skills</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>defense actions</narrowerterm>
</term>
<term>
<title>defense skills</title>
<broaderterm>defense</broaderterm>
<narrowerterm>skill cd</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>skill xy</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>skill ab</narrowerterm>
</term>
<term>
<title>defense actions</title>
<broaderterm>defense</broaderterm>
<narrowerterm>actions against xy</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>actions against ab</narrowerterm>
</term>
</thesaurus>
<xsl:template match="thesaurus">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each-group select="term" group-by="title">
<xsl:sort select="title"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="broaderterm">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="use">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/><br/>
<xsl:for-each select="narrowerterm">
.<xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>
<xsl:for-each select="???"/>
..<xsl:value-of select="narrowerterm"/><br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
What I want is:
defense
.defense actions
..actions against ab
..actions against xy
.defense skills
..skill ab
..skill cd
..skill xy
Where I am is:
defense
.defense skills
.defense actions

I don't think this is a grouping task or that it requires XSLT 2.0.
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="term[not(broaderterm)]">
<xsl:with-param name="pIndent" select="''"/>
<xsl:sort select="title"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="term">
<xsl:param name="pIndent"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($pIndent, title, '
')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vSubterms" select=
"../term[broaderterm = current()/title]"/>
<xsl:variable name="vLeafSubterms" select=
"narrowerterm[not(. = /*/term[broaderterm = current()/title]/title)]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$vSubterms | $vLeafSubterms">
<xsl:with-param name="pIndent" select="concat($pIndent, '.')"/>
<xsl:sort select="concat(self::term/title, self::narrowerterm/text())"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="narrowerterm">
<xsl:param name="pIndent"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($pIndent, ., '
')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document:
<thesaurus>
<term>
<title>defense</title>
<narrowerterm>defense skills</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>defense actions</narrowerterm>
</term>
<term>
<title>defense skills</title>
<broaderterm>defense</broaderterm>
<narrowerterm>skill cd</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>skill xy</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>skill ab</narrowerterm>
</term>
<term>
<title>defense actions</title>
<broaderterm>defense</broaderterm>
<narrowerterm>actions against xy</narrowerterm>
<narrowerterm>actions against ab</narrowerterm>
</term>
</thesaurus>
produces the wanted, correct result:
defense
.defense actions
..actions against ab
..actions against xy
.defense skills
..skill ab
..skill cd
..skill xy
