This is fine, have a look at the document() function in XSLT, and (if
you are using java) you should google for 'custom uriresolver' for more
info

You will need to do this in whatever language is performing the
transform - java,  etc.  I know Saxon has the ability to transform whole
directories from the command line if you are going down the batch route.
