Data Source Required for XSLT

While it is considered good practice to specify a data source regardless of whether you are planning to generate XQuery or XSLT, a data source is required only for XSLT. In addition, if your XML Publisher report has multiple data sources, one of them must be designated as the default data source. See Specifying a Default Data Source for more information.

See Sources to learn more about how additional sources are treated by Stylus Studio when generating XQuery and XSLT from XML Publisher.
