For some transformations this is possible, but I am not aware of tools
that do that and in many cases you'd need more information about the
input and output formats to generate usable results. Consider a simple
example like <xsl:value-of select = '$a + $b' />, if you don't know a
or b there might be billions of solutions, so you'd probably have to
change the requirements to a transformation such that applying the XSLT
to the output would be equivalent to the generated xml B; but even for
that I'm unaware of existing tools.
