You can write a sequence of transformations in which each phase processes
the output of the previous phase. There are two ways of doing this: 

(a) make each phase a separate stylesheet and a separate transformation
(often called a pipeline)

(b) do multiple phases within a single stylesheet. For this approach you
capture the results of one phase in a variable, and apply the next phase to
the value of that variable. In XSLT 1.0 this needs the xx:node-set()
extension which converts a result-tree-fragment to a node-set.
