Try to reduce the size of the problem, and post a complete specimen
including source XML, desired result, and stylesheet. Then we can see where
you're going wrong. You're not grasping some of the concepts: you're still
talking about tags rather than nodes, and thinking of the input and output
as text rather than trees. It might be a good idea to do some reading.
