Re: [xsl] Daisy chaining XSLT and also how can I check whether the XSLT processor supports a specific extension (specifically, ext:node-set)?

The usual approach in XSLT 1 is to use modes.

Make sure to keep all templates with a given mode together - e.g. in a
separate file you include, if possible - and always pass the mode to
apply-templates

<xsl:apply-templates select="exslt:node-set($first-pass-result)"
mode="fix-pyjamas" />

and, maybe in fix-pyjamas.xsl,

<xsl:template mode="fix-pyjamas" match="missing-button">
B  <button>
B  B  <xsl:apply-templates mode="fix-pyjamas" />
B  </button>
</xsl:template>
