[xsl] copying text into stylesheet using document(), with a twist

["Dunning, John" <JDunning@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm trying to include boilerplate text from an XML document into an XSL
stylesheet, for which I've found numerous examples that render document
instances, but I have not been able to get this to work when the output is
an XSL stylesheet.

I have the text I want copied in XML files:
<!-- file /text/en/boilerplateText.xml -->
<boilerplate>
	<text name="addressText" output="Address: ">Address: </text>
	<text name="nameText">Name: </text>
	<text name="titleText">Title: </text>
</boilerplate>

The stylesheets include calls to the templates using document(); I've tried
this using both a variable and by the document() function in each template:

<xsl:variable name="textDoc"
select="document('file:///c:/text/en/boilerplateText.xml')"/>
...
<xsl:template match="title">
	<xsl:value-of select="$textDoc//text[@name='titleText']"/>
	...
</xsl:template>

and

<xsl:value-of
select="document('./text/boilerplateText.xml')//text[@name='titleText']"/>

Both of these will render the document, but what I want to do is copy the
*text*, not the instruction, to a final, compiled stylesheet.  I create the
'full' (compiled) stylesheet by copying all template rules, etc. from the
included templates:

<!-- stylesheet to copy all referenced modules into one file -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:fo ="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
                version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"
encoding="UTF-8" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="xsl:include">
         <xsl:copy-of select="document(@href)//xsl:template 
                            | document(@href)//xsl:stylesheet/xsl:variable 
                            | document(@href)//xsl:stylesheet/xsl:param 
                            | document(@href)//xsl:decimal-format" />
    </xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="*|@*|text()|comment()">
	     <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|text()|comment()"/></xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I imagine that I need a second step using another stylesheet to then process
that stylesheet and copy the text from the named templates using document(),
but I have not been able to get it to work.  So far I've tried

    <xsl:template match="xsl:value-of[contains(@select,'document(')]">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/> <!-- nothing -->
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@select"/> <!-- nothing -->
		<!--xsl:apply-templates select="."/--> <!-- '.' = stack
overflow -->		
		<xsl:value-of select="@select"/> <!-- copies document() arg
-->
		<xsl:value-of select="@output"/>
		<xsl:copy-of select="."/> <!-- copies template rule -->
    </xsl:template>

and
    
    <xsl:template match="xsl:value-of[contains(@select,'$textDoc')]">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/> <!-- nothing -->
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@select"/> <!-- nothing -->
		<!--xsl:apply-templates select="."/--> <!-- '.' = stack
overflow -->		
		<xsl:value-of select="@select"/> <!-- copies document() arg
-->
		<xsl:value-of select="@output"/>
		<xsl:copy-of select="."/> <!-- copies template rule -->
    </xsl:template>

Any ideas (or solutions!) will be greatly appreicated,
Thanks, John
