I would recommend a pipeline language such as XProc, or if you want
something more mature, Orbeon.

Subject: [xsl] Simple XSL Pipelines
Good day,
There are many ways to pipe XML output from one XSLT to
another, but what is the proper way to do it? Using a
programming language in between does the job, but is there
some way to implement it elegantly with XSLT and Saxon alone?
The idea is something like:
data.xml -> filter.xls -> layout.xls -> targetmedia.xsl ->
data_for_mobile_phone.svg
This is just a thumb suck example, but that's the idea.
I was thinking along the line of creating a master XSL such
as pipeline.xsl which would work on parameters and call the
other style sheets as required. I know I can do this easily
from java, but I'm looking for a pure XSL solution. Also, I
need to to be able in use more than one XML as input, which I
know is not ideal, but it is better to get the requirements
right, and to make the technology fit, than to get the
technology right and to get the requirements to fit.
The answer probably lies in correct use of <xsl:variable
select="document(filter.xls)" name="filter" />, but I can't
find an elegant solution. If someone can help or make
suggestions or give an example that would be great.
Kind regards
Jacobus
