RE: selecting into an included stylesheet

Thank you!

I had initially been using the document function with a URI as Michael
suggested but ran into a race condition in the wild (not to mention some
very odd caching).

Dimitre's suggestion of parking the nodeset in a variable before
inclusion works well.

A more user-friendly way that does not require remembering all those
file-names (which, btw could change in time) is to have in every
stylesheet a global variable with easy to remember name:

  <xsl:variable name="vdocThisStylesheet" select="document('')"/>

Then, this document is accessible within every other stylesheet of the
import tree by simply:
             $vdocThisStylesheet
