You can't do that directly in XSLT 1.0. 

In 2.0 it's simply:

<vector>
  <xsl:value-of select="unparsed-text('file.txt')"/>
</vector>

In 1.0 you can pass the contents of the file into the transformation as the
value of a string parameter, or you could use a URIResolver to wrap the text
contents into an XML document structure.

<matrix>
  <row>
    <cell>0</cell>
    <cell>1</cell>
  </row>
  <row>
     etc.
