Okay ... you made me look ... and I get what I thought I would get:

t:\ftemp>type andrew.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet  version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

    <xsl:import href="B.xslt"/>

    <xsl:template match="/" name="main">
        <xsl:result-document method="xml">
            <foo>bar</foo>
        </xsl:result-document>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

t:\ftemp>type b.xslt
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

    <xsl:output method="text"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

t:\ftemp>xslt2 andrew.xsl andrew.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><foo>bar</foo>
t:\ftemp>


Are you getting anything different?
