If you want to export data in XML format then why bother to go through an XSLT process? Why can't you have a process which outputs an XML file directly without including an XSL transform? You won't then have to modify an XSL stylesheet to do what you want.

There are already several examples in the framework of functions which export data to non-database files (such as the dictionary export and the menu subsystem export), so why can't you use one of those as a model? It is very easy with PHP to create an XML document and then write it out to disk.

All of the xsl templates get their data from the same source - the XML file which is generated from the PHP code just before the XSLT process is executed. The PHP code which creates the XML document can be found within file 'include.xml.php?.inc'.
