Yes, you can do that.

It kind of goes without saying, since there is no such thing as an
"element" in a plain text document ;-)

You can, as shown in the existing epilogues for PDF handling:

<p:processor name="oxf:xslfo-converter">
     <p:input name="config"><config/></p:input>
     <p:input name="data" href="#xformed-data"/>
     <p:output name="data" id="converted"/>
</p:processor>
<p:processor name="oxf:http-serializer">
     <p:input name="config">
         <config>
             <header>
                 <name>Cache-Control</name>
                 <value>post-check=0, pre-check=0</value>
             </header>
             <!-- This is what causes a file name to be suggested -->
             <header>
                 <name>Content-Disposition</name>
                 <value>attachment; filename=document.pdf</value>
             </header>
         </config>
     </p:input>
     <p:input name="data" href="#converted"/>
</p:processor>
