RE:  Constructing a tree from leaf nodes (knowing the t
OK, so you have two rules, one for leaf nodes and one for non-leaf nodes.
Something like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:variable name="tree" select="/"/>
<xsl:variable name="data" select="doc('data.xml')/data"/>

<!-- rule for non-leaf nodes -->

<xsl:template match="*[*]">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:attribute name="complete" 
       select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies 
                 exists($data/*[name() = name($n)])"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="result"
           select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies 
                 exists($data/*[name() = name($n) and @result='true']) "/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>             
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- rule for leaf nodes -->

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:attribute name="complete" 
       select="exists($data/*[name() = name(current())])"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="result"
           select="$data/*[name() = name(current())]/@result"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>             
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This actually gives the right answer, but it's possible that the rule for
non-leaf nodes should only look at leaf descendants, not at all descendants,
which would change it to:

<xsl:template match="*[*]">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:attribute name="complete" 
       select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies 
                 (* or exists($data/*[name() = name($n)]))"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="result"
           select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies 
                 (* or exists($data/*[name() = name($n) and
@result='true']))"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>             
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
