2 standard inputs?

I have a script in which I've built two variables; one contains a string
which is XML text, the other contains a string which is XSLT text. I want
to feed these pieces of information into xsltproc, which actually takes two
filenames as input. I'm trying to avoid writing my 2 strings out to files,
just so xsltproc can load them.

I can avoid one of the files by supplying xsltproc /dev/stdin as one of it's
input files, then feeding one of my text strings to the standard input:

exec xsltproc /dev/stdin $xmlFilename << $xsltText

(The script is in Tcl, and this uses a feature of the Tcl exec command, but
I should be able to adapt any generic scripting answer.)

I can't think of a way of easily feeding the text which I'm currently
dumping in $xmlFilename into the xsltproc process without using the
intermediate file. Any ideas, anyone?
