All depends on this element:
<xsl:with-param name="Type" select="@Type"/>

Change this to:
<xsl:with-param name="Type">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="@Type"><xsl:value-of select="@Type"/></xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<xsl:value-of select="substring(local-name(),1,1)"/>
			<xsl:text>Group</xsl:text>
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:with-param>

The mapping will be done by 1) the 'Type' attribute if present 2) a  
constructed grouping name when the 'Type' attribute is not present.

That grouping name is constructed by these elements:

<xsl:value-of select="substring(local-name(),1,1)"/>
<xsl:text>Group</xsl:text>

This is combination of the first character of the element's name and the  
word 'Group'. It works in your sample, but you'll most likely need to  
modify it in order to work in your real situation.

I'm unsure whether you're addressing the (imaginary) workflow of the xslt  
algorithm or real changes in the input XML document. In the latter case,  
you'll need some extension function to produce multiple ouput documents.
