XSLT as a language supports the idea of keeping a stylesheet embedded within
the source document that it transforms, and I occasionally use such embedded
stylesheets with Saxon. But I don't know which if any browsers support them.

The other way around ought to be trivial, you just put the "source document"
in a global variable. Ought to be, but isn't because of the silly inability
in XSLT 1.0 to convert RTFs to node-sets.
