Is it just the usual problem of $next-stop being a document-node()? If
so you need:

<xsl:variable name="next-stop" as="element()">

It looks like you are trying to do positional grouping - maybe look at
xsl:for-each-group using group-ending-with.

By the way, if you provide a small complete sample input, with a
complete stylesheet that highlights the problem then it's easy for
people to cut and paste the samples and reproduce your problem.  Not
many will be bothered to mock up an input...
