Peter,
Orbeon Forms uses CSS classes to control the visibility of UI
elements, instead of directly modifying the elements' attributes. This
has some benefits, but in this particular example can also lead to
some confusion.
I am not sure if it is really to be considered a bug or not ;-) In
general, I would say that you shouldn't touch the xforms-repeat-
delimiter class, in particular: it is for internal use only.
You would be better off nesting a <div> within <group> and then use
CSS rules to control the appearance of the <div> element. This will be
much safer.
