Passing NodeSet into XSLT 1.0 in Java 7 via setParamet

Baseline:

* Java 7
* Bundled version of Xalan
* java.xml.transformers.Transformer
* DOM

I want to create and pass a set of elements from Java into the model
where the stylesheet can add them to my output.

Is this possible? In particular, is there a type I can use from Java
such as NodeIterator that this particular processor will recognize as
a node-set and assign to a variable inside the stylesheet?

Or should I simply do all the manipulation in DOM? (I'm trying to keep
my dependencies to a minimum so I don't want to pull in Saxon, etc.)
