I think that in nearly all production applications there should be some kind of framework that invokes the XSLT (it might be Java, or XProc, or Ant, or Cocoon, or something else) that allows you at the very least to fiddle around with input and output files. Ideally it should allow you to construct a pipeline of transformations. If you don't have such a framework then you'll find yourself, as the requirements grow, packing more and more logic into a single stylesheet until it becomes unmaintainable. You're already proposing to do something in XSLT that would be much more efficiently done elsewhere. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
