I well understand the appeal of keeping the whole document around for
random access. :-) But have you considered xsl:key?  It sound like you
want to accumulate a symbol table and fetch useful properties of the
symbols when you see them again.

I'm only brainstorming here.  I haven't yet used xsl:key myself.  But
if I don't expose my ignorance once in a while, I'll never learn. :-)
If you find my suggestion helpful, I'd like to see how you used it.
