It depends how much you know of that shared structure, eg you could
replace

match="ArrayOfBooks | ArrayOfMagazines"

by

match="/*"

and

match="Book | Magazine"
by
match="/*/*"


In general rather than write a stylesheet that matches two different
document types it is often easier to write it just for one, and write a
stylesheet for the other than transforms to the first document type,
so that gets transformed as a two stage process. that way if teh
structure isn't completley identical you can transform away any small
differences in the first pass.
