You can chain XSLT transformations as long as the stylesheets transform 
to XML respectively don't depend on stuff like disable-output-escaping. 
The last stylesheet in the chain can then transform to HTML.

Using one stylesheet to do several transformation passes is also 
possible with XSLT 1.0 but only if the XSLT processsor supports an 
extension function like exsl:node-set to transform a result tree 
fragment to a node set so that each pass creates a result tree fragment, 
the extension functions then creates a temporary node set on which the 
next pass works.
