Thanks for the explanation Wendell!

In my current main stylesheet, I include four other stylesheets:

	biblio-driver.xsl
	document-driver.xsl
	biblio-output.xsl
	citation-output.xsl

I understand that I want to think about breaking the last two into 
stuff like:

	biblio-output-author-year.xsl
	citation-output-author-year.xsl
	biblio-output-footnote.xsl
	citation-output-footnote.xsl

.... and so forth, and using import instead.

However, I don't want the user to choose which stylesheet to run 
(main-author-year.xsl vs main-footnote.xsl).  I want that to be defined 
in a separate non-XSL style file, and for the user always to run the 
same stylesheet.

Is there some smart way I can have one main stylesheet that imports 
different stylesheets depending on that main "class" parameter?

Maybe have a variable that defines the path to the included stylesheets 
based on the parameter?  Alas, import seems to insist it exist at the 
top-level.
