An sgml transformation.

Have a master file point to the document and contain the option selections.
Feed this file to an sgml transformation which creates:

<wrapper>
  <option-set option-selection="..">
     <!-- entire source tree here -->
  </>
  <option-set option-selection="..">
     <!-- entire source tree here -->
  </>
</wrapper>

Then feed this to your formatting stylesheet, which can compare the value of
(attribute "option") to (inherited-attribute-string "option-selection")

I once had to solve the same problem in a different context.
