RE: create new xml with xsl

You are trying to create a pipeline of two transformations. You can
either do this with one stylesheet, or with two. 

If you do it with two, you will need some kind of scripting environment
(e.g. a Java or VB application, or just a shell script) to feed the
result of the first transformation as input to the second.

If you want to do it with a single stylesheet, the design pattern is:


<xsl:variable name="temp">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/" mode="phase1"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="xx:node-set($temp)" mode="phase2"/>
</xsl:template>

and then you have to label all the template rules for each
transformation phase as mode="phase1" or mode="phase2". xx:node-set() is
your vendor's extension function to convert a temporary tree to a
node-set - all processors offer this, but the name varies.

Saxon offers a third approach, you can use two stylesheets, and pipe the
output of the first into the second using <xsl:output
saxon:next-in-chain="stylesheet2.xsl"/>
