With that stylesheet you have posted only index.xml makes sense as the 
primary input document. That document contains ph:entry elements with 
the name or rather prefix of other files to be loaded with the document 
function (e.g. with <ph:entry>geneva</ph:entry> and <xsl:apply-templates 
select="document(concat(.,'.xml'))"/> the file "geneva.xml" is loaded 
and processed).
