Is there a way to use and existing xml file as output for a XSL
transformation(essentially appending elements to an existing file)?

Yes, it's called the "identity transform" and is easy to look up and learn about. The stylesheet processor traverses a source document, copying its nodes to output as it goes. To aggregate files, you would extend the transform so it "annotates" your source (with information drawn from your other sources) as it goes along.


Funny how these questions come in clusters. The identify transform came up at least twice yesterday....

Cheers,
Wendell
