Processing a recursive data structure should always be done recursively.

I can't see anything in this requirement that can't be satisfied by a
completely straightforward set of template rules using the standard
<xsl:apply-templates/> technique at each level to process the children. If
you're struggling with it, it would be helpful to know where your
difficulties are.
