Because that way you have have one small file locked by programmer A in
the version control system and another small file locked by programmer B
in the version control system.

XSLT is not all that good at being used in large, multi-programmer
projects; there's little-to-no automerge support for version control,
and various processors throw warnings at you if you have a file included
in more than one place (as you want to do if you're defining a bunch of
utility functions in a big mass of XSLT code.)  But having things being
broken out into smaller files on some logical grounds -- semantic
groupings of target elements, say -- certainly helps.
