I'd suggest an entirely separate pass that walks through the source
content, notes the subtrees in it that you require, and then tries to
find the appropriate equivalent in the output.

This should be entirely separate from the main transform, so it doesn't
pick up any errors; this is the sort of thing where, ideally, someone
else should implement it.
