Does the concatenation have to be smart or will /usr/bin/cat do?  Can
the complete files be concatenated, XML declaration and DOCTYPE
declaration and all?

I could think of two alternatives to doing this:

(1) Run each XML file through XT, creating shorter XML files
    containing only the interesting elements.  Then, concat all the
    shorter XML files and run the result through XT again (with
    another style sheet).

(2) Concat the long XML and run them through XT just once (with a
    single style sheet which does both the selection and
    transformation-to-HTML jobs).

(Is style sheet a good term something which specifies transformation,
not formatting?)

I wonder whether there is a difference in efficiency?
