I'm afraid that you can't dynamically choose the output method that
you use with pure XSLT 1.0.

However, come XSLT 1.1 then you can - it's an attribute value
template, so you will be able to use:

<xsl:output method="{$format_type}" />

You can get this behaviour currently if you use Saxon as your
processor.

I hope that helps,
