Re: [xsl] How to make a request to a same file to generate different content

[IceT <icetbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I may have to use Cocoon for this, but I could certainly do it with 
some server-side scripting (such as JSP) right ?

Is this a limitation of XSLT or it isn't meant to do this anyway? I 
could for instance, create "empty" (with a root tag and a stylesheet 
attached) files named members_new.xml and members_old.xml, and than make 
the link point to this file. This is how I picture I could to this:

<xsl:variable name="current" select="/"/>
   <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="current/* = 'members'>
        ...
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:when test="current/* = 'members_new'">
       ...
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:when test="current/* = 'members_old'">
       ...
       </xsl:when>
   </xsl:choose>

Is this possible? Is there a better xml/xsl to do this?

Thanks
