unfortunately, I don't know if I can come up with one that will help
you that quickly.  I'm pretty familiar with the concepts of XSL,
but I have little actual experience implementing many of those concepts,
so I'm still a bit slow at the moment.

In my current look at your dilemma, I don't think the recursive
call would be pretty by any stretch of the imagination, and I don't
currently have the time to put it all together.

Here is a basic example of an incrementing recursive template.
(untested)

	<xsl:call-template name="recurse-to-10">
		<xsl:with-param name="current-inc">1</xsl:with-param>
	</xsl:call-template>

	<xsl:template name="recurse-to-10">
		<xsl:param name="current-inc"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="$current-inc"/>
		<xsl:if test="$current-inc&lt;10">
			<xsl:call-template name="recurse-to-10">
				<xsl:with-param name="current-inc" select="$current-inc"/>
			</xsl:call-template>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>

It iterates from the first number given (in this case 1) to 10
and prints out each number as it goes.

In your situation, you will probably have to pass a node in
the parameter in order to keep track.

hope this helps give you some ideas.
