RE: RE: [xsl] Combining two XML files into one

["Karl Koch" <TheRanger@xxxxxxx>]

I have modified your stylesheet slightly now, because I also think it is
nicer to have all the information in the stylesheet. Since I actually want
ot merge 15 different files in one run, it don't work with parameters
either...

I have tested it and it seems to work fine. 

Thank you very much,
Karl
