XSLT file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:variable name="t" select="//p"/>
		<my-normal-output>
			<etc>...</etc>
			<!-- here you dump variable t-->
			<variable-dump name="t"><xsl:copy-of select="$t"/></variable-dump>
		</my-normal-output>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


XML file:
<root>
	<p>test</p>
	<a><p>test <b>with bold</b></p></a>
	<b><p>test <p>with p</p></p></b>
</root>


Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><my-normal-output><etc>...</etc><variable-dump
name="t"><p>test</p><p>test <b>with bold</b></p><p>test <p>with p</p></p><p>with
p</p></variable-dump></my-normal-output>
