Not in a single processing pass, no.

In fact the whole idea runs against a basic design principle of XSLT, that 
it be "side-effect free". This is an aspect of the language that gives it a 
number of notable advantages; its down side is that you can't do precisely 
the thing you are asking about.

Why do you want to do this? Chances are good that XSLT provides you another 
way to accomplish your goal, and if not, splitting your process into more 
than one pass can also be done.

Regards,
Wendell
