The second part of the answer (which I guess Ken assumed you already
knew) is that having started your transformation without an XML document
as input, you can then read the text file using the unparsed-text()
function.

It all depends on how you invoke the XSLT processor.
You can invoke XSLT by specifying the name of a starting template. An
example using Saxon is:
java -jar saxon.jar -it:start-me-up -xsl:myStylesheet.xsl
... and then have:
<xsl:template name="start-me-up">
But I often just supply the stylesheet as my input XML document:
java -jar saxon.jar -s:myStylesheet.xsl -xsl:myStylesheet.xsl
... and then have:
<xsl:template match="/">
Remember that an XSLT stylesheet is, itself, an XML document.
I hope this helps.
