It's actually easier in XSLT, because an XSLT stylesheet is XML, and both
XSLT and XQuery are designed to produce XML as their output. Also XSLT gives
you more control over important details like namespaces. Stylesheets that
produce stylesheets are widely used.

How would you generate this XQuery:

<a>{x < y}</a>

?

Both XSLT and XQuery allow you to generate code; neither of them (without
extensions) allow you to execute the code that you have generated.
