It really shouldn't be too hard to make a structure something like the 
following, which is basically a simple collection framework for 
stylesheets and can internally be gathered into a set of compiled 
stylesheets:

<col:stylesheet-collection xmlns:col="http://stylesheet-collection"; 
start-with="main">

    <xsl:stylesheet col:name="main".... >
        <xsl:import href="#import-me" />
    </
    <xsl:stylesheet col:name="import-me">
         <xsl:output ... />
         <xsl:template match="...
    </

</col:stylesheet>

Or something like that. What catalogs are to XML and DTD, can stylesheet 
collections be for XSLT. Perhaps a new standard ;)
