Also, I have a similar question: Is it possible to have a system where if a particular entity is required for rendering a 'document' that it may be included from a master document. This question comes from a problem (which I have solved very inelegantly using perl) which involves many levels of document definition. The system I have in place let's you define (currently through HTML) properties of a whole set of documents, for example the background colour, or maybe keywords, and a set of sets. I have implemented this as a tree of documents where properties are inherited down from parent to child. The system is very hacky and not too robust. I could see XML being very useful in these (and many other) problems, and for this reason I am trying to implement it using it. I think this may be a question which concerns DSSSL and some sort of 'parent linking', but I'm not familiar enough with the way these work to say.
