Re: [xsl] Limitations of including/importing number of stylesheets into a stylesheets

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only case I've seen where this caused serious performance trouble 
was when one module was imported (not included) into many others, all at 
different import precedence. I've since fixed Saxon so this case is no 
longer a problem, but you might not be so lucky with other products. 
Generally, try to organize your code so each module is included/imported 
only once (the effect is global). Apart from that, I don't think you 
should have any concerns.

23 doesn't sound huge to me; I suspect docbook has rather more modules 
than this.
