If you are trying to insert snippits of text into the result, you are better
off using document().  For example, you could put the title into an
***xml*** file like this:

File resources.xml:

<resources>
    <title>This is My Best Work</title>
<!--=== Typically you'd have other data here too ===-->
</resources>

Then in the stylesheet:

...
<xsl:variable name='resources' select='document("resources.xml")/>

<xsl:template match="/">
     <html>
         <head>
              <title><xsl:value-of select='$resources/title'/></title>
 etc.

If you want to insert a whole branch of a tree, use <xsl:copy-of
select='$resources/theBranch'/>

This way is more robust for use with xslt, and is a lot more flexible than
defining entities for everything.
