SSI in XML

 
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

For the design of my website (http://www.ballsome.com/test/), I
really need to have a Server-Side Include in an XML document. As of
my knowledge, however, my hosting service doesn't support that, only
SSI with HTML. The file that needs to be included is an automatically
generated text file with markup, news.txt. I've tried the following
things:

1. rename index.xml to index.html of type text/xml
	didn't work, SSI parser apparently needs text/html

2. rename index.xml to index.html of type text/html
	didn't work, mozilla needs it to be of type text/xml

3. add XML markup to the included file, then call with document() in
XSLT stylesheet
	didn't work, cgi program erases all inserted markup with each update
to the news.txt file

4. make wrapper, news.xml, with news.txt as an external entity
reference so that it is inserted every time I type &news;
	didn't work, mozilla doesn't support external entity references

5. rename XSLT stylesheet (home.xsl) to home.html of type text/xml
	won't work, SSI parser needs type text/html

6. rename XSLT stylesheet (home.xsl) to home.html of type text/html
	won't work, mozilla needs type text/xml

After all this, I've pretty much come to the end of my rope. Does
anyone have any suggestions at all?

Relevant files:
XML document: http://www.ballsome.com/test/index.xml
included file: http://www.ballsome.com/test/news/news.txt
XSLT stylesheet: http://www.ballsome.com/test/stylesheets/home.xsl
XML wrapper: http://www.ballsome.com/test/news/news.xml
