[xsl] Integrating Multiple Stylesheets and XSL transformations

["bix xslt" <bix_xslt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I am looking for a way to produce an integrated environment which utilizes a 
series of xsl transformations over a single xml document to produce a 
compact, browsable view.

For example, in a typical HTML layout, I might have something like this:

+------+-----------------+
|      |      path       |
|      +-----------------+
|      |                 |
| menu |                 |
|      |      data       |
|      |                 |
|      |                 |
+------+-----------------+


If my xml was of the format:
<obj label="top">
 <obj label="sub1">
   <obj label="sub11">
   <obj label="sub12"></obj>
 <obj label="sub2"/>
 <obj label="sub3">
   <obj label="sub31">
   <obj label="sub32">
   <obj label="sub33"></obj>
 <obj label="sub4"/></obj>

I might want to see the end result of the menu:
- top
 - sub1
     sub11
     sub12
   sub2
 - sub3
     sub31
     sub32
     sub33
   sub4

If I am at sub32, the path would look like:

top -> sub3 -> sub32

And the data would contain information about sub32.

Each of the items above would also contain hyperlinks with a script that 
updates the other views (i.e. clicking on sub3 on the menu would update  the 
data and path portions).

I am looking for an example of this type of integration.

I have been working backwards at this point, and I already have individual 
xsl files that can easily translate a given .xml file into the desired 
output.  But I'm a little lost as to how to integrate the xsl files into one 
cohesive environment.

If anyone has done this type of an integration or knows of a place I can 
start learning more about it, I would love to learn more about how it was 
done.

Thanks!
bix
