Well, for a start I gather the original poster didn't want to have a reference to the XSLT in the XML file but the XSLT code itself, perhaps something like
Oh I see, that wasnt my understanding of the request, but perhaps you are right. In which case it would not be a simple task to implement.

In either case the XSLT code can be extracted with a filter, but it is certainly more laboriously than just extracting the reference. There are a few more details needing attention, for example how namespaces declared on the elements enclosing the XSLT code but not referenced there will be handled.
Yes I am now enlighted processing XSLT embedded in the XML would not be easy.
The second assuption is that the user wouldn't mind if the document is opened andprocessed twice. A reasonable assumption for a file, but more difficult to asses for documents addressed by HTTP URLs, and even more difficult for on-the-fly generated XML, as it often happens at DB interfaces.
A good point, but if this was the only negative I would be inclined to apply the 80-20 rule of software development (i.e. no software satisfies all user requirements, so just settle for satisfying 80% of them)
