I think this will be reasonably easy in the next version, which is
undergoing final testing. This will allow you to use the logic:

PreparedStyleSheet ps = new PreparedStyleSheet();
ps.prepare(new InputSource("style.xsl"))
RuleManager rm = ps.getRuleManager();
Pattern p = Pattern.make("html");
rm.setHandler(p, new HtmlNodeHandler());
StyleSheetInstance ssi = ps.makeStyleSheetInstance();
ssi.renderSourceDocument(new InputSource("source.xml"));

I didn't design the interface with that in mind, but it comes out quite
nicely.

By the way, it might be a courtesy to others on this list if specialised
