That also might be generated dynamically, it doesn't have to relate to a
file (in a server setup like cocoon for example more or less everything
is generated dynamically from something else, just to make life
interesting)

The XSL engine coudn't care less what happens on a remote server, it
just sends a request and gets back a bunch of XML, so you can do all the
things you ask (except of course you have to write & as &amp; when it
appears in the stylesheet)

Note however that XSLT explicitly specifies that if you use the same URI
twice in the same transform you get the same document.
