RE: Closing and reopening hierarchically structured e

I haven't tried to study your particular problem, I'm afraid.

The general design approach to these problems is to

* start by defining the result tree that you want to produce

* for each element node in the result tree, write a template rule that
outputs that element

* then think about the conditions under which you want that template rule to
be fired, and write appropriate match patterns and/or apply-templates
instructions
