RE: Lookup question -- attempt 3

The short answer is that in the following template.

   <xsl:template match="//T">
     <xsl:apply-templates 
select="document('lookup.xml')//AB/pa[(_at_)prefnum=current()/pref]/*" mode="p">
       <xsl:with-param name="id" select="@id" />
     </xsl:apply-templates>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
   </xsl:template>

It does not create any output nodes.  Therefore the p output nodes are all
generated within the template for match="*" and mode="p".  Hence the p nodes
must all be closed prior to processing the current T input node's children.

You can correct that by moving the first p output node into the match="T"
template, and include the apply-templates inside of that p node.  Of course,
this looks slightly odd and requires that your lookup tree be of the
following form:

   <pa prefnum="1">
     <XXXX>
       <YYYY />
       <ZZZZ />
     </XXXX>
   </pa>

and NOT:

   <pa prefnum="1">
     <XXXX>
       <YYYY />
       <ZZZZ />
     </XXXX>
     <AAAA>
       <BBBB />
       <CCCC />
     </AAAA>
   </pa>

Here is a transform which does pretty much all you want.  I did use a global
variable rather than opening the lookup document everywhere.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output indent="yes" />
   
   <xsl:variable name="lookUp">
        <xsl:copy-of select="document('lookup.xml')"/>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:template match="/">
     <Root>
       <xsl:apply-templates />
     </Root>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="T">
        <xsl:variable name="nodeLookup">
                <xsl:value-of
select="name($lookUp/AB/pa[(_at_)prefnum=current()/pref]/*)"/>
        </xsl:variable>

        <xsl:variable name="newid" select="concat(translate(@id,' ','_'),
1)"/>
        <p c="{$nodeLookup}" id="{$newid}">
     <xsl:apply-templates
select="$lookUp/AB/pa[(_at_)prefnum=current()/pref]/*/*" mode="p">
       <xsl:with-param name="id" select="$newid" />
     </xsl:apply-templates>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
     </p>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="pref"></xsl:template>

   <xsl:template mode="p" match="*">
     <xsl:param name="id">IDENTIFIER</xsl:param>
     <xsl:variable name="idd" select="translate($id,' ','_')"/>
     <xsl:variable name="newid" select="concat($idd, position())"/>
     <p c="{name()}" id="{$newid}">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="p" select="*">
         <xsl:with-param name="id" select="$newid" />
       </xsl:apply-templates>
     </p>
   </xsl:template>
   
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note that the number is slightly different, because I explicitly removed
text nodes from the apply-templates processing stream.
