Re: [xsl] Stylesheet composition

[Garvin Riensche <g.riensche@xxxxxxx>]

But the second stylesheet, which is doing the addition, doesn't depend 
on the nodes that the first one processes, it depends on the nodes that 
the first one adds. And these nodes (<aaa>) habe the same name as some 
aleady existing nodes. The question is, is it possible for the xslt 
processor to find out which <aaa> elemnts are from the source xml and 
which are added by the stylesheet without adding extra inforomation to 
the added elements.
Maybe the example is not the best but i wanted to keep it short and 
simple. I am just looking for a way to influence a template's behavior 
from outside. In this case I want to control whether stylesheet2 
processes all <aaa> nodes or only the ones added by the first stylesheet.
