Yes, it's certainly possible (sometimes necessary in fact!) to generate
XSLT from XSLT. The trick (in XSLT 1.0 at least) is to use a namespace
alias so that the processor can distinguish between actual XSLT elements
and elements which are meant to be written to output.
You can start with:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xso="dummy">
<!-- the 'xso' namespace represents your output XSLT elements -->
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xso" result-prefix="xsl" />
<!-- write your XSLT templates, substituting 'xso' for 'xsl'
wherever you wish to output literal XSLT elements -->
<xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet | xsl:transform">
<xso:stylesheet>
<!-- . . . -->
</xso:stylesheet>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that I haven't tested any of this but it's been mostly cribbed from
Sal Mangano's XSLT Cookbook, and I've done this before, so it *should*
work. ;-)

Subject: [xsl] apply one XSLT stylesheet to another one ?
Hallo, sorry for my question but I'm totally new to XSLT.
Is it possible to modify one XSLT stylesheet (A) with another (B) to
create a new one (C), I guess it is! Would be great if someone of you
could help me, a tiny example would be more than great. Thx in
advance.
