And if you need to do something with the various identifiers, you can
create a bunch of functions and map each identifier value to the
appropriate function reference and use that map to process a copy of the
record. More or less

<xsl:template match="record[not(SID_Identifier)][map:contains($identifiers,VOR_Identifier)]">
    <xsl:variable name="temp" as="element()">
      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:sequence select="$identifiers(VOR_Identifier)($temp)"/>
</xsl:template>

Plus another template to collect those records we were not expecting and
did not match.
