I finally tried to do this, but got stuck. I'd really really like to
do it in memory, as it would get very messy with files. I have the
great XSLT reference by M. Kay, where it even tells you how, by
passing a variable with the transformed 'result tree fragment' to
apply-templates. I tried, and it doesn't work. Below is the minimal
test file, which should (I think) do the same thing as an empty
stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="content">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$content"/>
</xsl:template>
Well, for me it produces no output, and I can't figure out why.
No to be accused of rtfm I went to check the XSLT 1.1 specs
and, lo and behold, it says:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt11/#N6743
Note: The result tree fragment data-type has been removed in XSLT 1.1.
Hm. And yes, I'm using xsltproc:
$ xsltproc -V
Using libxml 20616, libxslt 10110-CVS940 and libexslt 808-CVS940
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20613, libxslt 10110 and libexslt 808
Any advice much appreciated!

PS: btw, I don't think you could use DOE in memory, so that option is
only good for a file pipe.
