Using a *single* transformation, is there a way to create an XSLT 2.0

I think that's impossible because, even if I can save the XSLT in a
document (xsl:result-document), I can't include it at run-time.

The entire stylesheet is read and processed before any source tree nodes are acted on, therefore there is no chance for the output of the transformation to participate in the stylesheet tree *of* the transformation.

Of course you can do it in two passes, creating the second stylesheet with the first, but given your emphasis I gather you already knew that.
