I don't understand why this means you can't rename/copy/move
the file before each transformation...
It sounds like either you're trying to do something that XSL
can't do, or XSL can do it but you need to take a different
approach (e.g. renaming the xml file).

I don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish so
it's hard to make any more recommendations.

Why?  Why can't you read the content of the file from compte-in.xml,
create a variable that contains the modified data, use the variable
for whatever you need, and write the modified data to compte.xml?

Your stylesheet only accesses the input data once and writes the
output once, so there's no reason I can see that you need to
modify the contents of the file dynamically in any sense
other than the usual input->processing->output that has been
suggested.
I see that you want the resulting file to have the same name
as the input file, and that can be accomplished by renaming a file
before or after the transformation.
