The stylesheet is so big because following:

Our project has one big (400k) XML file with some configurations, such 
as names of services etc. Try to imagine this like table:
<services>
	<service>
		<id>1</id>
		<name>Service with very long name</name>
	</service>
	<!-- 100000000000000x againg withy different id and name -->
</services>

It is stored in config.xml.

Second, we are converting big data xml files using configuration. But 
because our XML machine can't locally access filesystem and all xml 
and xsl files are sent by TCP/IP, I can't use 
document(href=config.xml) in my stylesheet and I must create local 
copy of configurations as global variable. This is because stylesheet 
is so big. But anyway, code transforming data is thousands lines big.

So, first step is {xslt processor} config.xml genstyle.xsl > 
style.xsl, which creates copy of xslt code with global variable 
containing config.xml and second step is transforming some data by
{xslt processor} verybigdata.xml style.xsl > output.txt.
