Well normally you would have the parts that can change as global parameters 
using xsl:param elements as children of xsl:stylesheet. You can then pass in 
values for these via XsltArguments class.
If this isn't sufficient you can modify the transform dynamically by opening 
it first as an XmlDocument, selecting the relevant element, such as xsl:if, 
and changing the test attribute. You will need to use a NamespaceManager to 
add the xsl to "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" mapping.
