Did you see my suggestion to use a tunnel parameter passing in the
accumulated/collected data for the processing by a different mode?

As for the currently failing attempt, consider sharing minimal but
complete samples of XML and XSLT and output you want and the one you get.

I am not sure there is a best approach, in the end you need to
recursively process your documents and seemed to want to simply collect
some elements, that can of course be done by a recursive function
instead of exploiting the recursion of apply-templates and doc()
processing. But I don't think there is a "best" approach you would need
to find, in the end a chosen approach should lead to a satisfying result.
