Have you looked at using multiple stylesheets and/or multiple modes (and,
if you stick with xsltproc, exsl:node-set()) so you can, e.g., do the
chapter milestones, then the verse-start milestones, then the verse-end
milestones?

And as Andrew Welch eloquently put it, some things are so much easier in
XSLT 2.0 that people assume that's what you're using.

FWIW, my slides on converting from (non-XML) SFM to OSIS and then EPUB
from XML Prague 2011 are linked to from
