Wot Ken said across the board, but I did want to ask whether you are
constrained to use XSLT. There are some non-XSLT implementations
available based on the ISO drafts, including the desired features you
mentioned. I should know because I've written one of them: Scimitar
(part of Amara [1]). Scimitar is implemented in Python, but you don't
have to be a Python programmer to use it: you can just run it from the
command line on most platforms.
