In the latest XSL spec the following is defined: "xsl:apply-imports processes the current node using only template rules that were imported into the stylesheet containing the current rule; the node is processed in the current rule's mode." What happens when you nest apply-imports statements inside of each other, e.g. <xsl:template match="foo"> <xsl:apply-imports> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:apply-imports> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:apply-imports> <xsl:apply-templates/> OK now what is the stylesheet context? </xsl:apply-imports> </xsl:apply-imports> </xsl:apply-imports> </xsl:template> It looks as an XSL implementation will need to have each template element maintain a pointer to the stylesheet that it is a member of in order to determine what stylesheet the current rule refers to. This is of course easily doable in the implementation I have, but for implementations which pass in a DOM Document as the stylesheet tree (e.g. Koala) this would force the XSL implementor to have a global table mapping templates to the stylesheet that owns them. The other thing I am not so sure about is the scope of xsl:apply-imports. In the example above, should scope be inherited from any ancestor xsl:apply-import elements of a particular template node or should a nested use of xsl:apply-imports override any ancestor xsl:apply-import elements.
