This is what I use for a structure using s1/2/3/4, maybe you can adapt it to
your needs:

  <xsl:template match="s2|s3|s4" mode="toc">
    <font size="2" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">
      <xsl:number format="1.1.1. " level="multiple" from="s1" count="s2|s3
|s4"/>&#160;
      <a href="#{generate-id(.)}">
        <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
      </a>
    </font>
    <br/>
    <xsl:if test="count(child::s2|child::s3|child::s4) >= 1">
      <dir>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="s2|s3|s4" mode="toc"/>
      </dir>
    </xsl:if>

  </xsl:template>

And your call it like so:

  <dir>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="s2" mode="toc"/>
  </dir>

The important thing is to use a "toc" mode, to have it not infere with the
normal content processing.
