mmh...
excuse me Michael, but I didn't point out (my sample was oversimplified) 
that my processing involves several XML sources dynamically collected 
via xsl:document instruction elements -- so I can't rely on a pre-proc 
gathering.

I thought about XSLT extensions... what's your hint? Is there any 
(within some extent) standardized function for this purpose?
