Actually I was thinking of how to construct the XSL to let me do exactly this. Working with other people's documents, ones which you can't go changing, means having to devise ways to get around the conflicts of some element type names. > XML--along with its > concept of well-formedness and its companion specs such as > Infoset, XInclude, XSLT, XML Schema etc.--has, for better > or worse, taken us beyond that. I'm not sure "beyond" is right. "Beside" is probably closer. Your description of the process of xinclusion is very useful, but when working with some applications there is a requirement to conduct some form of checking that the entity being included conforms to some kind of known pattern _before_ inclusion (or indeed, rejection) takes place, in order to ensure that any subsequent process (like applying styles) won't blow up in your face because some idiot edited the file with Notepad and got a typo in some markup. ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
