Have you considered using sablotron's Excellent Named Buffer support?
I do this all the time.
ie: $addl_buffers['MySecondBuffer'] = "<?xml
version='1.0'?><MyNode>Blah</MyNode>"
$addl_buffers['MyThirdArbitraryBuffer'] = ... etc etc etc...
then, in stylesheet, for instance:
<xsl:variable name="TestBuffer"
select="document('arg:/MySecondBuffer')/MyNode"/>
etc, etc.
