yes, many XSLT processors, especially the Java ones such as Saxon and Xalan,
accept input from any SAX or SAX2 parser.

Most XSLT processors prefer to build their own tree, optimized for XSLT
processing, rather than using a DOM, which tends to contain all sorts of
clutter like entity reference and CDATA nodes. The main exception is MSXML,
where the XML parser and XSLT processor are tightly integrated in one
product.
