I would disagree. Firstly, I think if you're going to modify the stylesheet before use, you should do it using XSLT rather than using DOM. Secondly, I think xx:evaluate() is preferable in many cases because you don't lose the benefits of stylesheet compilation; it is also less error-prone (most attempts I have seen to modify stylesheets end up with a horrible dependency between the stylesheet source code and the script that modifies it, which gives you a maintenance nightmare). The only drawback of xx:evaluate() is portability.
