No, you don't do this using XSLT.  You do it on the source document before 
it is processed by XSLT, and on the result document after.  You can use 
JAXP, but how you use it will depend on the rest of your code.

Yes, certainly.  However, this again sounds like a JAXP issue that is 
independent of XSLT.  You can use DOM, SAX, or whatever to retrieve values 
from the source document and insert values into the result document.
