You will need to pass the data in as top-level stylesheet parameters yourself,
when you invoke the XSLT processor. Presumably you have some glue between your
HTTP server and your XSLT processor that does this.

Writing out a document while in the middle of XSLT processing is a side effect
that can be achieved with an extension element or extension function. Most
XSLT processors offer such extensions; check the docs for your processor. You
may also want to research if the processor you are using supports the EXSLT
exsl:document element described at
http://exslt.org/exsl/elements/document/index.html
