I understand better now what you want to do, but I'm not sure why. I'm 
certainly a big fan of XSLT[1], and co-workers have accused me of 
treating too much like a nail with that as my hammer, but for navigation 
and manipulation of triples, I find it simplest to implement all that 
logic in SPARQL, and then to hand it off to XSLT via SPARQL query 
results format to perform the tasks that XSLT is best at. It sounds like 
you want to move the data from a SPARQL query engine to an XSLT 
processor earlier than I would, or do you want to just take the SPARQL 
query engine out of the pipeline?
