I realize this is not a fully-XSL reply, but if you're already on the
commandline, you might find it easier to use some tool other than
XSLT to generate a directory listing.
When I want to operate on the list of files in a directory, I
typically start with `xml ls` (called `xmlstarlet ls` on some
distributions), and process the output thereof with my XSLT to mimic
file selection and get the output I want.
I leave it to more experienced XSLTers to address the pros& cons of
an all-XSLT solution vs this sort of assembly line. I developed this
mechanism before using XSLT 2 was a reasonable option for me, and
am happy enough with it I haven't really looked at switching very
seriously (but could certainly be convinced).

Andrew provided an XSLT 2.0 solution (the Saxon extension
may not be needed)

Shows processing a more complete listing.
