[xsl] merging multiple xsl's - creates new node and ignores CDATA tags

Subject: [xsl] merging multiple xsl's - creates new node and ignores CDATA tags

The problem I have is in merging multiple xsl files into a single file,
USING ANOTHER XSL file. Basically, we have dozens of xsl files with
<xsl:include>, to include common things that are kept in files like
header.xsl, footer.xsl etc.

Example (trimmed minimal sample code) - Pls ignore any spell or
upper/lower case typo errors.

a) mainFile.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:include href="qmFooter.xsl"/>

	<xsl:template match="mResponse">
		<xsl:if test="$doctype"><xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!DOCTYPE </xsl:text><xsl:value-of

select="$doctype"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&gt;</xsl:text></xsl:if>
		<html>
			<head>.....		</head>
			<body>
				<!-- so many blah blah statements -->
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
				<xsl:call-template name="qmFooter"/>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


b) qmFooter.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:template name="qmFooter">
		<div class="qm_FOOTNOTE"><xsl:value-of
select="./header/licenseText"/></div>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Due to a speacial need we have had to make another SINGLE file merging
the <include>d files into main file. So, instead of merging physically,
made another xslt to do this process, using XMLSPY -> xslTransformation

c) Tranformation.xsl (actual code)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
	<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
	</xsl:template>
	<!-- the default copying process - match every node whether it
is an element or an attribute -->
	<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="name() = 'xsl:include'">
				<xsl:variable name="includeFile"
select="@href"/>
				<xsl:comment>

**********************************************************************
	Content of file <xsl:value-of select="$includeFile"/>
**********************************************************************
				</xsl:comment>
				<xsl:variable name="includeContent"
select="document($includeFile)"/>
				<xsl:copy>
					<xsl:apply-templates
select="$includeContent/xsl:stylesheet/*"/>
				</xsl:copy>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:copy>
					<xsl:apply-templates
select="node()|@*"/>
				</xsl:copy>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This do the merging, but adds an <xsl:include> node on the output as
shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
	<!--

**********************************************************************
		Content of file qmFooter.xsl
**********************************************************************
	-->
	<xsl:include>
	<!-- I NEED TO AVOID THIS xsl:include HERE. also, pls tell me:
		1. WHY AND HOW THIS NODE GETS ADDED HERE
		2. What change is required in Tranformation.xsl to
eliminate this.

	 -->
		<xsl:template name="qmFooter">
			<div class="qm_FOOTNOTE"><xsl:value-of
select="./header/licenseText"/></div>
		</xsl:template>
	</xsl:include>
	<xsl:template match="mResponse">
		<xsl:if test="$doctype">
			<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!DOCTYPE </xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="$doctype"/>
			<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&gt;</xsl:text>
		</xsl:if>
		<html>
			<head>.....		</head>
			<body>
				<!-- so many blah blah statements -->
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
				<xsl:call-template name="qmFooter"/>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


3) Also noticed, any opening and closing CDATA tag getting ignored
<![CDATA[But, this text come ok]]>. Example

<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[if ((document.forms[0] != null)
&& (document.forms[0].name == "END")) { SB_SetCanExit(true); }]]>
</script>

becomes

<script type="text/javascript">if ((document.forms[0] != null) &&
(document.forms[0].name == "END")) { SB_SetCanExit(true); }</script>

Is there a way to fix this?

4~) And let me know of any tother improvement or changes required in
Tranformation.xsl

Thanks in adv,
