xslt 2 drafts have a next-match feature which is basically like
apply-imports but not restricted to imported templates.

short of that, in simple cases you can use  modes


By default your default mode just calls mode x

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="x"/>
</xsl:template>

all your real transform happens in mode x

<xsl:template match="sect" mode="x">
 ....
</xsl:template>

then you just need

<xsl:template match="*[@revisionflag]">
wrapper code
...
<xsl:apply-templates seelct="." mode="x"/>
...
</xsl:template>
