Do the first pass in a variable:

<xsl:variable name="first-pass">
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="first-pass"/>
</xsl:variable>

The do the second pass by calling apply-templates on the first pass:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$first-pass"/>

...or something similar - you may want to mode the second pass if it's
less work.  Remember to have two root match templates, one moded, to
ensure do don't get infinite recursion.

If the first pass could be a one-off batch process, then you're better
off separating out the transforms than repeatedly doing the first pass
each time.
