To easily generate XSLT code you can use the namespace-alias in your first
stylesheet like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";  version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="dummy">
  <namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xsl" result-prefix=""/>
  <template match="/">
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0">
      <choose>
        <when test="count(//Delete)  &gt; 0">
          <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="http://delete.dtd"/>
        </when>
        <when test="count(//Delete) = 0">
          <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="http://update.dtd"/>
        </when>
      </choose>

      <!-- the rest of your stylesheet here... -->
      <xsl:template match="/">

      </xsl:template>

    </xsl:stylesheet>
  </template>
</stylesheet>
