 I'm not sure I understand the difference. Could you elaborate?

 You mean, add new templates dynamically *as* the transformation is
running? Or as the program constructing the stylesheet is running? If
the latter, I don't see why you cannot use any of the techniques already
proposed (using a DOM or a String). If the former, hmmm, I don't believe
the language is prepared to work that way, there are number constructs
that require some form of global preprocessing (template priorities,
imports, etc.) which will require you to recompile (or re-precompile
depending on the processor) every time you add new things. In any case,
I don't understand why you'd need to do such a thing.
