Actually, in the text of your message, you suggest that your source has
a quite different structure, namely:

   root
       body
           ( record1 | record2 ) *
            
This is a classic case for xsl:apply-templates.

<xsl:apply-templates select="record1 | record2"/>

<xsl:template match="record1">
...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="record2">
...
</xsl:template>
