How do I get those DEBUG result documents back out of the function?


You probably do need to have your function take a map as an argument.
A sequence of "documents-so-far" is even less elegant when you start
dealing with where to write them out to.


For posterity:

<xd:doc>
    <xd:desc>process transformation events in list order with fetched 
params</xd:desc>
    <xd:param name="initial">the document we're going to transform</xd:param>
    <xd:param name="list">the list of transformation event names we need to 
process</xd:param>
    <xd:param name="results">the accumulating return values of the successive 
transform() calls</xd:param>
</xd:doc>
<xsl:function name="local:processList" as="map(*)">
  <xsl:param as="document-node()" name="initial" />
  <xsl:param as="xs:string*" name="list" />
  <xsl:param as="map(*)" name="results" />

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="not(exists($list))">
      <!-- no more event names to process, so stop and return what we were 
called with -->
      <xsl:sequence 
select="map:merge((map:entry('processed',$initial),$results))" />
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <!-- we still have events to process -->
      <xsl:variable name="temp" as="map(*)" select="transform(
              map:merge(
              ($transformMap(head($list)),
              map:entry('source-node', $initial))
              )
            )"/>
      <!-- when we add this transform result, remove the output key because 
that will duplicate -->
      <xsl:sequence select="
          
local:processList($temp?output,tail($list),map:merge(($results,map:remove($temp,'output')))
          )" />
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>


Not elegant, but functional.

I think it would be helpful for map:merge() to throw a warning if the
second argument doesn't contain any recognizable option names.

Thanks!
