extension element that creates instructions

Hello,

I want to write my own Saxon extension that creates XSLT instructions.
The extension should load additional XSLT code from an external systems 
(e.g. a database); this imported code should be interpreted as well. Is 
this possible?

While writing, another idea comes to my mind: maybe it is easier to use 
an import statement in the stylesheet that loads via a special 
URIResolver a new stylesheet that contains only a named template with 
the code from the external system. This named template could then be 
called instead of using an extension.

So far I have only written simple extension, so is the first approach 
possible at all? Or is the second approach with the import better?

Thanks,
Peter
