you could possibly use the future unparsed-text() function thats specified
in XSLT 2.0

16.2 Reading Text Files
Function: sequence unparsed-text(sequence, string?)

I am uncertain how this will work ( maybe you will have to supply the
http:// url of the results of the FOP processing ) but possibly this
function is implemented in SAXON 7.2, dont know yet ? You may also use other
features of the exp XSLT 2.0 SAXON implementation to chain together your
transforms.

but in general you will need a specialized extension function.
