Re: [xsl] inheritance and encapsulation in xslt? / xslt for xlink?

actually using xlink to get this processing seems rather odd. i assume it's embedded in an annotation element of some sort in the xsd file? XSLT1 of course doesn't see the XSLT at all so it can't automatically read anything in teh schema, but even xslt2 which can know about the schema structure wouldn't see this. If you (they) ae going to use xsd why didn't they use xsd facilities for this? If for example the new elements were in the substitution group of the old ones xpath2 would automaticaly be able to cope. As is, i think the thing to do is write a stylesheet that transforms <definitionArc xlink:from="ci_unrestrictedCash" xlink:to="acme_slushFundCash" xlink:arcrole="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role#general-special"/> to <xsl:template match="acme_slushFundCash"> <ci_unrestrictedCash> <xsl:apply-templates/> </ci_unrestrictedCash> </xsl:template> then that gives you, for each xsd file an xsl. these generated xsl would transform your instance documents into an instance of your generic schema, then you just hit that with your main stylesheet. So you should only have to hand write one small stylesheet to extract the links and convert them to templates, plus your main stylesheet, theen everything for the specialised schema should be automatic.
