It would be a SMOP to [install your XSLT into the server -- already done --, and to] make sure every XML is delivered with the PI to reference it.
Then we need some code to resolve the cross-origin SYSTEM entities (xmllint -noent?).
Finally, there should be an IDNITS check for valid XML...

I really like looking at drafts in rfc2629.xslt processed form, so much that I usually generate standalone XML that doesn't use cross-origin SYSTEM entities.
(kramdown-rfc2629 has an option for generating that form.)  But for the people who like to embed the xml.resource.org entities into the XML, the above would be necessary.

(E.g., look at
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-6man-udpzero-00.xml
for a draft that has the cross-origin problem and therefore doesn't show references right, and at
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-aayadi-6lowpan-tcphc-01.xml
for a draft that doesn't but unfortunately isn't even valid, and at
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-abarth-cake-00.xml
for how a standalone draft looks like.  Nice.
