Here is some recursion example:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

  <xsl:function name="mf:group" as="node()*">
      <xsl:param name="elements" as="element()*"/>
      <xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="$elements"

              </xsl:otherwise>
          </xsl:choose>

though so keeps the "ul" lists separated from the sibling "p" elements, 
have so far not understood why a list belongs into a preceding paragraph.
