It's already based on multiple passes and XSLT 2.0, so it wouldn't be 
hard to do that.

This sounds interesting.  Could you give me an example of what this 
might look like?

Currently I have a main stylesheet that looks just like this:

<!-- read the external citation style file -->
<xsl:param name="citation-style" required="yes" as="xs:string" />

<xsl:variable name="styles" as="document-node()"
  select="doc(concat('styles/',$citation-style, '.csl'))" />

<!-- set the citation class parameter (e.g. author-year) as specified 
in the style file -->
<xsl:param name="citation-class" 
select="$styles/cs:citationstyle/@class"/>

<xsl:include href="drivers/biblio-driver.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="drivers/document-driver.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="output/biblio-output.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="output/citation-output.xsl" />
