Sure. It's probably best in this scenario to script it yourself: for MSXML
this would probably be JavaScript, for other processors it would be Java.
Look up the API documentation for your processor. Compile the stylesheet
once, then use it repeatedly to process a list of source documents.

You can process multiple source documents from within a single stylesheet
execution, by using the document() function, but that's probably not the
right approach here.

Doing it as a command-line script, processing the stylesheet from scratch
each time, would be a lot less efficient. MSXML does have a command-line
interface, but you don't really want it here.
