Simply comparing the size of the input and the output file (and
calling the straightforward XSLT
script over again) might do the trick for pruning; if you need to
guard against replacment operations
that might not change the size, cmp or diff would provide an
indication of "no change".

In general when I apply a XSLT script then one rule/template is matched at
a time (for one node).
Then the XSLT script is stopped.
Imagine for example a template which deletes (only) the current leaves of
an XML node tree. When the current leaves are removed then there are new
leaves.
Is there a general (!) trick to re-apply the script on the resulting XML
doc again?
Again: I am not searching for a specific solution but a general trick which
works for (almost) all
XSLT scripts. The processing should only stop with the re-application when
there is no difference
any more between input and output XML.
This general trick should preferably work with XSLT v1.1 (if not possible
then v2.0 is ok as well).
A couple of points here:
- XSLT 1.1 was dropped in favour of going straight to 2.0, so it's not
clear why you would want 1.1?
- You've written a wordy description with no input/output examples, so
it's hard to understand and even harder to give a precise reply
