Yes.

It won't, because it doesn't support client-side transformations
(according to your paragraph that I cite at the top of this message).

So I am suggesting, if your XSLT processor supports this (I can't give
you a comprehensive list of which transformers support this - I know
gestalt does :-), and Saxon 8 does from it's Java API, but not from
the command-line, if I remember correctly), that you do
a server-side transformation, passing the target media value to the
transformer via it's API.
