This question really belongs in the XSLT newsgroup, so i've set followup to there.
This is mostly a problem in the XSLT engine. As you say it is only designed to output XML. You can't change the mimetype of an existing document and have it morph into a XUL document. We are however working on making the XSLT engine output other things then XML, in the first iteration it will only be able to do HTML and XML, but after that it should be trivial to add more document types. Hopefully by 1.3a we will be able to do XUL and SVG as well. As a workaround for now you can create a new XUL document, and transfer the result of the XSLT transformation into that document. The XSLT engine will output correct XUL contents, it's just the document-object itself that is "wrong".
