The msxsl SDK has this example which might get you started:
This example defines a script block with a namespace prefix of user that
contains a function called xml that takes a node-list as an
argument. Later, this function, xml(nodelist) in the user namespace, is
called from the select attribute of <xsl:value-of>.
XML File (customers.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="script.xsl" ?>
<customers>
<customer>
<name>John Smith</name>
<address>123 Elm St.</address>
<phone>(123) 456-7890</phone>
</customer>
<customer>
<name>Mary Jones</name>
<address>456 Oak Ave.</address>
<phone>(156) 789-0123</phone>
</customer>
</customers>
XSLT File (script.xsl)
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:user="http://mycompany.com/mynamespace">
<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="user">
function xml(nodelist) {
return nodelist.nextNode().xml;
}
</msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="user:xml(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
