Hmm... Only in some cases. Here's what the spec says:

"The xml output method outputs the result tree as a well-formed XML
external general parsed entity. If the root node of the result tree has
a single element node child and no text node children, then the entity
should also be a well-formed XML document entity"

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-XML-Output-Method


This also means that in general it will not be possible to validate (or
more exactly the validation will fail)  the result with a schema/DTD,
as they define a well-formed xml document.
