Thank you! I have modified your suggestions to sort of work. The code is below.

I need to carry to the result tree, the siblings that fall in the current section. I know i need something along the lines of following-sibling: up to next section. Or is there another way to get those in this algorithm.

The current line only get all siblings but the headings.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!

<xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::*[name()!='section']"/>

         <xsl:with-param name="population"
                         select="current-group()[position() != 1]"/>

The elegant algorithm IS a recursive routine with a named template: see

for a solution of a similar problem (Stage Two is the relevant part)
