I don't see any graph described in your xml document.

It is not xslt that will create the transformation, but an XSLT
programmer.

Seems quite straightforward to me -- especially if you explain the problem
properly.

Could you draw the graph and explain how its vertices and arcs are
specified in your xml document? What is the meaning of a "crosslink"?
