This is a definite -1 for this technique.  There's two ways I can think of
working around this,

1) Have two different file versions with the same XML data, changing the
value the PI.
2) Import the necessary transformation files and use an XML driven
approach to deciding which one to use (e.g. <xsl:template
match="/foo">...</xsl:template> <xsl:template
match="/bar">...</xsl:template>

Dependent on the size of both the XML data file and the XML transformation
file(s), there could be a significant barrier to entry for using either of
the above solutions.  The best solution in this regard would be to use
JavaScript-based transformations.
