Ouch. I haven't personally tried this, but a colleague of mine has analyzed the Quark file format in detail, and I heard from her that that format is:
* Very complex; * Poorly (if not un-) documented; and * Contains angle-bracketed structures that are not well-formed XML
Since an angle-bracketed structure that isn't well-formed XML is the one thing XSLT can't output, you may have some trouble. Though maybe you could pull some fancy trick with CDATA sections or character entities. But it might be easier to use OmniMark, or write a SAX filter in Python. Either of those will let you output anything you darn well please.
