Can you break out the common templates/variables/params into separate XSL documents? This way you can directly target your unique circumstance. For example, what i do is have a global_defintions.xsl that includes all the common XSLT documents (variables, params) that have common usage. Then in the unique XSLTs, I just include global_defintions.xsl. When you need the unique view you call the unique XSLT doc which includes the common stuff.

The first stylesheet, a.xsl, provides the a-specific information. It has
to be
independant of the second stylesheet, b.xsl, which provides the b-specific
information. By definition, the second stylesheet, b.xsl, cannot provide
the a-
specific information.
