 You can generally achieve this by using xsl:import. By writing your
transformations as a set of template rules to be applied to particular
elements, and keeping the rules for each DTD in a separate stylesheet
module, you can assemble a composite stylesheet that contains all the rules
for the composite document using xsl:import.
