Re: [xsl] Including multiple XML documents with associated s

I found a helpful message in the archives by Jenni Tennison on this one, but
unfortunately it doesn't address the matter of XSL stylesheets in
sub-documents, rather than using the transformation templates of the
governing document.

I have also searched through Google on "multiple XML documents" and various
related filters, to no avail. Accordingly, I will perform the separate
transformations and recombination in Javascript, unless anyone here can
point me to a better alternative?

Regards,

Alex
