RE: Dynamic generation of stylesheets

An XSL stylesheet is an XML document. Therefore it can be produced as the
output from an XSLT transformation of some other XML document or documents.

The following XSLT stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
   <xsl:element name="xsl:template">
    <xsl:attribute name="match">//myelemtype[@myatt='myval']</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:element name="foo">
     <xsl:attribute name="bar">barval</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
   </xsl:element>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied to an arbitrary XML document, will produce this output

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:template match="//myelemtype[@myatt='myval']">
  <foo bar="barval"/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

which, in turn, when applied to the following XML document:

<myelemtype myatt="myval"/>

will produce the following result

<foo bar="barval"/>

Hope that helps
