Yes you are basically describing trying to write an XSLT system in XSLT, which is quite hard (if possible) when what you want to do is just generate a document in which a few element names have changed which is as I said the main function of xslt. XSLT does not see the input document as a string but as a tree. You haven't said what transform you are trying to do. I gave a template for p to fo:block, you just add similar templates (in any order in the file) for other elements that you want to transform and the system just matches the input to your match elements and generates the output based on the template body.
