Eric,

I suspect you just want to look at XSL extensions.  What you have available
depends on what processor you're using, but check out the Saxon and Xalan-J
documentation on extensions. In particular, if calling Java is acceptable?
Note that you have to explicitly convert the returned results to a nodeset
using the nodeset() extension... (Note that there are language extensions
and then there user extensions.)
