It sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Perhaps, you could make it
easier if you used entities. Have the XML documents that they write
defined as entities within an outline stylesheet, that looks like:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY template SYSTEM 'template.xsl'>
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                ...>

<msxsl:script language="javascript" implements-prefix="user">
  ...
</msxsl:script>

<xsl:template match="/">
  &template;
</xsl:template>
                
</xsl:stylesheet>

All the users would have to do is edit template.xsl and process the
XML document with the above stylesheet.

Cheers,

Jeni
