Yes, exactly that was my misunderstanding of the first post (hate mondays ;))

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
 	<!ENTITY content "<xsl:value-of select='.'/>" >
 ]>
should give you the expected result. (tested with Saxon 8.3)


XML source file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root>Test</root>


XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
 	<!ENTITY content "<xsl:value-of select='.'/>" >
 ]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
	<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="root">
		<test>
		&content;
		</test>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>Test</test>
