Re: stylesheet expansion

That's a compiled stylesheet/transformation, not a module. You have
that already with some processors (such as Saxon, unless Michael has
removed it).

Compiled stylesheet modules are the facility that Dmitre requested,
and is to be considered by the working group, of being able to compile
a single stylesheet module (that's the term used by the recomendation)
and then being able to xsl:import (or include, I suppose - import is
the more difficult case) the compiled module.
