Thanks Jeni -- This is what I want, because easier to manage (also 
opens up the style language to be used with other programming languages 
like Perl).

I was actually thinking/hoping to be able to specify a command-line 
parameter, though am not quite sure how that'd work.  Maybe a style 
file might be named mla.csl, and one would just specify the file minus 
the extension as a parameter?

Anyway,  I can see how to read the style file to get things like 
variables.  Like, if I want to get the "title-before" variable, I can 
just do:

<xsl:variable name="title-before">
  <xsl:value-of select="cs:title/@before"/>
</xsl:variable>

Right?

But what I don't understand is how I could handle the "biborder" 
template.  So, say my (non-xsl) style file says order should be:

title
origin
location

How do I get the proper <xsl:apply-template select="..."/> order from 
that?
