RE: [xsl] XSLT File I/O?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You'll need to call out to Java to do this. Shouldn't be difficult, and with
luck you don't even need to write any custom Java code, you can just call
out to the standard Java library.

Details depend on the XSLT processor that you're using.
