XSLT 2.0 has a function unparsed-text() to handle that use case.

In 1.0, you can often write a URIResolver or similar which reads the plain
text and puts it in a simple XML wrapper. Alternatively, you can write a
skeletal XML document which reads in the plain text as the expansion of an
XML entity reference, and your document() call can then reference the
skeletal XML document.
