What makes you believe "it's just a proofing tool" ?
The correct mailing list for bug reports, suggestions etc. is
xslt@gnome.org
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/

What about RTFM ? http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/extensions.html

Use the python based wrapper: pyxsltproc.py
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/python.html

Those are general XSLT questions, and this is the right place,
the first one doesn't sounds a problem, the second would need a random
generator, maybe there is one in EXSLT
