[xsl] Where (how) to use XML/XSLT in my .Net Project

C# ASP.Net 3.5 (2008)
XSLT 2.0 developed: SaxonicaHE, production: SaxonPE
MSSQL
XML Accord Standard, <TXLife/>, <TXLifeRequest/>
The project will query SQL data from a few data sources, then use an XML and/or 
XSLT to build an output XML file. Later on the same XML will be sent to a 
webservice.
The project's code will not know how to build the output file, instead it will 
rely on an XML/XSLT control file to tell it what to do.
My dilemma lies in that I'm not sure if I should have the control file be an 
XML, XSLT or ?? 

Below is a possible avenue using XML to instruct the c#.Net project what nodes 
need to be constructed and where to map the data. 

...this pseudo example....
<Control>
   <TXLife>
  <Obj_Name>Policy</Obj_Name>
   <!-- comment: 1=true, 0=false -->
    <Obj_Complex>1</Obj_Complex>
    <!-- comment: attribute value 1=term, 2=Disability, 3=..... -->
    <Obj_Attribute value="1">tc</Obj_Attribute>
    <Parent_Name>Olife</Parent_Name>
    <!-- comment: Object Elements... -->
    <Obj_Elements>PolicyAmount,Term,Modal</Obj_Elements>
   <!-- comment: Source/Result Name/Value Pair mapping -->
   <Source_ResultNV sc="uPolAmount">PolicyAmount</Source_ResultNV>
   <Source_ResultNV sc="uPolYears">Term</Source_ResultNV>
   <Source_ResultNV sc="uPmtMode">PremiumModal</Source_ResultNV>
  </Obj_Name>
  <Obj_Name...etc for each simple or complex element />
 </TXLife>
</Control>
The project will then build the result XML based on the above and any 
subsequent 
additions/changes to the control file, will (if all is well) result in a 
different result XML file, with no need to change the c# code.
I suppose that my question is if a control XML file is a good direction or if 
XSLT can do it all, map data into the XML output and not rely on my c# .Net 
code 
to know how to form or map the data into the result XML.
TIA
