One thing I forgot to mention:
What you describe looks almost like a helper class we created in Cocoon
3.0
http://cocoon.apache.org/3.0/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/pipeline/util/TransformationUtils.html

Basically it builds a Pipeline, adds the required components, applies
the parameters and executes this all.
It's like a one-stop-shop for the most common XSLT things you can come
across.

This class is also a nice example for the Pipeline API itself and how to
use it for building your own ready-to-use transformations.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/cocoon3/trunk/cocoon-sax/src/main/java/org/apache/cocoon/sax/util/TransformationUtils.java

(However, keep in mind that this is trunk, so it has all the nice
generics, packaging, etc.)
