RE: [xsl] Two source documents with one stylesheet

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can do <xsl:apply-templates select="$doc1/*">, and a template rule that
matches the document element will then be fired. Template rules aren't
specific to a particular document. If you need different rules to process
different documents, use modes.
