RE: [xsl] Merge two xml files into one ?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try:

<xsl:template match="device">
  <xsl:copy-of select="param"/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('doc2.xml')/device/param"/>
</xsl:template>

If you want to make it symmetric you can read both inputs using the
document() function, or supply both as stylesheet parameters.
