    You pass one file (A.xml) as the input XML document
    and read the other (in a variable ?) with a "document('B.xml')".

    Or, if you want to be fancy, you create a third file
    that simple contains the first 2:

    <merge>
        <source href="A.xml"/>
        <source href="B.xml"/>
    </merge>

    Use this third file as your input XML document
    and read both original inputs (that you get by querying
    your "configuration" file with a document() function.
    In this way you can apply the same metodology to both document:

    <xsl:template match="/merge">
        <xsl:variable name="source-A" select="document(source[1]/@href"/>
        <xsl:variable name="source-B" select="document(source[2]/@href"/>

        <output>
            <tag-from-A>
                <xsl:value-of select="$source-A/some-tag-from-A"/>
            </tag-from-A>

            <tag-from-B>
                <xsl:value-of select="$source-B/some-tag-from-B"/>
            </tag-from-B>
        </output>
    </xsl:template>

    (I just typed this in, so it may contain errors and stuff).

Hope this helps,
