Both of these elements are used to construct XSLT applications from
multiple stylesheet files.

If you want to include, say, a fixed header in the HTML page that your
XSLT is generating, I'd usually do it by putting the header in a
separate file and using <xsl:copy-of> and the document() function to
insert the content of that file into the result of the transformation:

  <xsl:copy-of select="document('header.xml')" />

Note that the file must be a well-formed XML document for this to
work.

If that doesn't suit your requirement, perhaps you can give an example
of what you mean by "including stand-along components on a page".

Cheers,

Jeni
