As an alternative you could try what you suggested earlier, to set the 
URIResolver on the transformer, so you could include xml documents 
during the xslt transformation using document().
You would have to patch BasicXMLResource or add this to your own resource.

I cannot think of any other easy solutions right now.
If we want to make the whole pipeline configurable, it would be a lot of 
work.
