Use BiTeX? Oh no, wrong list.

If it weren't for the sorting (ie if your references were ordered in
your source, you could go)

<xs:apply-templates select="id(@doc)" mode="number"/>

then you could share your templates in mode "number" between the code
that typesets the reference list and the code that typesets the
individual citations.

Howver you do want to sort, so its probably easiest to have a variable
with the sorted list then use a node-set extension to query into that.

so top level
<xsl:variable name="sorted-refs">
  <xsl:for-each select="//refs/*">
    <xsl:sort select="author/name"/>
    <ref number="{position()}">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </ref>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

Then something like 
 <xsl:variable name="x" select="@doc"/>
 <xsl:for-each select="$sorted-refs">
   <xsl:value-of select="id($x)/../@number"/>
 </xsl:for-each>
