Sorry for joining in late (and maybe not understanding your question) but I
was just checking out the O'Reilly book by Eric Burke called Java and XSLT
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxslt/)  In the book he gives an example
of using non-XML data as an import to an XSLT transformation.  His example
uses a file made of comma-separated values, hardly well-formed.  The trick
is to generate SAX events so that the XSLT engine (one that supports SAX)
will think it is consuming an XML document.  The above reference includes a
link to the example code.

HTH,
