Answer 1

This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:ext="http://exslt.org/common">
     <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

     <xsl:variable name="vrtfDefaults">
       <termCat/>
       <termVocab/>
     </xsl:variable>

     <xsl:variable name="vDefaults" select=
      "ext:node-set($vrtfDefaults)"/>

     <xsl:variable name="vQ">"</xsl:variable>

     <xsl:template match="Zthes">
      <xsl:text>HDR";"PIGLSSTD";"20120112045620";"F":</xsl:text>

        <xsl:variable name="vMainOutput">
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:variable>

       <xsl:copy-of select="$vMainOutput"/>

      <xsl:text>&#xA;FTR;</xsl:text>

      <xsl:value-of select=
       "string-length($vMainOutput)
      -
        string-length(translate($vMainOutput, '&#xA;',''))
       "/>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="term">
       <xsl:variable name="vTerm" select="."/>

       <xsl:variable name="vRow1" select="'&#xA;&quot;GL&quot;;'"/>

         <xsl:for-each select=
          "termCategory
          |
           $vDefaults/termCat[not($vTerm/termCategory)]">
           <xsl:variable name="vRow2" select=
               "concat($vRow1, $vQ, ., $vQ, ';')"/>

           <xsl:for-each select=
            "$vTerm/termVocabulary
            |
             $vDefaults/termCat[not($vTerm/termVocabulary)]
            ">
             <xsl:variable name="vRow3" select=
               "concat($vRow2, $vQ, ., $vQ, ';')"/>

            <xsl:for-each select=
             "$vTerm/relation/termVocabulary
             |
              $vDefaults/termCat[not($vTerm/relation/termVocabulary)]
             ">
            <xsl:value-of select="concat($vRow3, $vQ, ., $vQ, ';')"/>
          </xsl:for-each>
          </xsl:for-each>
         </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="text()"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on the provided XML document:
