How about a two-pass solution? Indeed, and similarly the presentation in the result can be determined entirely by the order of the elements' selection by apply-templates, rather than having to be hard-wired into the logic (since assigning them a class of 'current' or 'completed' is relative to their position in the temporary tree, not bound by an implicit hierarchy of values of $label). This is a good illustration of how being able to process results in XSLT 2.0 allows for better abstraction and therefore a better fit to the "real" rules, as opposed to the incidental rules, of the transformation. I think this distinction between "real" and "incidental" rules in specification is sometimes useful and important ... the real rules being the ones that support the underlying rationale, while the incidental rules only support the way the rationale expresses itself given particular extrinsic conditions, which also must obtain for them to be valid.
