[xsl] naming conventions for modular XSLT

[Harold Putman <h.putman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 
I am starting to break up my large XSLT into separate modules using xsl:include. It seems like I should have a way to indicate in my XSLT where the templates and variables come from if they are not in the same file. Is there a convention for doing this? 
I am trying out using a dot in the names of things that come from extern modules. That is: main.xsl includes util.xsl. 
In util.xsl I name everything that I intend to "export" with a name beginning with util.

Has anyone else done things like this? Is there any downside to doing it this way? 

Thanks,
