I can't do that can i?

No, your importing stylesheet can have override the templates 
creating the top level element in the result tree and 
generate additional attributes but you can't use 
apply-imports and then modify the result.

Well, you can, but not directly. You can do something like:

<xsl:template match="thing">
  <xsl:variable name="temp">
     <xsl:apply-imports/>
  </
  <xsl:copy select="xx:node-set($temp)/*">
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="extra">value</xsl:attribute>
  </
</
