Re: Using an XSLT to merge two XMLs then apply itself

do you actually want the intermediate file or is that just a way of
describing the processing? If you do want it you'll need two xslt runs
or an extesnion function to write out a file (iif your processors have
such extensions)

If you just want the result of processing then you can probbaly do that
in a single pass, something like

<xsl:template match="root-node">
  <whatever-you-want>
...

(bad name for the element by the way as the root node in xslt is never
an element, <root-node> is the child of the root node (denoted / in
xpath)

Then you just need a template for instance that traverses the other
document

<xsl:template match="instance">
<stuff>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="document('xml-f')/support/*"/>
</stuff>
</xsl:template>
