In principle at least there is, or should be, also the possibility of
using ixml from within XSLT, applying it as a function directly. In
this case you can write a template - maybe with a predicate pattern -
to match putative titles.

I’m contemplating a similar course exercise (although we won’t use ixml
in an XSLT 3 course, i’ll mention it) for the upcoming course, matching
paragraphs in a minimally-marked-up TEI document to turn them into
headings, replacing a somewhat unsuccessful exercise i had before that
replaced acronyms with expansions.
