Perhaps, one of the way to specify above mentioned kind of XML document src
to target formats mapping, may be like following,

<digitStrMapping minNoOfDigits="1" maxNoOfDigits="5">
    <old>
       <decimalPosition>NA</decimalPosition>
    </old>
    <new>
        <decimalPosition towardsRight="true">1</decimalPosition>
    </new>
</digitStrMapping>

An XSLT stylesheet then needs to read the above mentioned XML mapping
specification, to perform its XSL transformation tasks.

I definitely think, that other XML mapping specification formats for
this requirement can be thought about.
