If you had a marker element to show where some transformed xml should go
and where it came from, eg <insertTransformedXML source="foo.xml"
style="bar.xsl"/> then you could have a script run through your html,
find these elements, do the transformations they describe and replace
them with the result.
There's probably an extension to xslt that would let you do this from
within another stylesheet, depending on your processor, but keeping
things text-based, eg using a perl script, say, might be quicker because
there's no need to parse the surrounding html. Of course, in this case
you could have any kind of marker you wanted, if it was distinct
enough...
What environment are you doing this in?

Tom
