1. Accumulate result of the transformation (a) into the variable
( result tree fragment ):

<xsl:variable name="result">
your transformation (a) here.
</xsl:variable>

2. Use XSLT-engine-specific-not-portable to-node-set()  
hack/typecast ( turn result tree fragment into node-set ).

3. Apply transformation (b) to node-set which is 
produced on step 2.

Or just use plain OS pipe ( 2 stylesheets e t.c. - could be 
even faster ;-)
