hmm, u do have a rather fundamental non-awareness of the processing model
that is present within xslt.

essentially what u want to do is apply a transformation, then apply another
transformation to that result, correct me if i am wrong ( i think i am going
blind reading other peoples xslt ! ).

a) place the results of a transform either in a file and access with
document() call

or

b) place result nodeset in a variable

<xsl:variable name="process1">
do something here....... ( apply-templates....i would have named or moded
templates )

</xsl:variable>

now u have a var called $process1 to do stuff with , but there is still a
small problem, its not a 'real' nodeset, so you have to convert it using the
common extension function called node-set() which converts the RTF into a
node for processing.

now apply templates to this result

<xsl:apply-templates select="msxsl:node-set($process1)"/>
this is an example using M$ processor.

i would suggest reviewing the FAQ at www.dpawson.co.uk you will get some
fundamental stuff there.
