You say you want the user always to run the same stylesheet, and
parameterize your "operational mode" in a separate file. If that
separate file were (for example) an Ant build configuration, or a file
called in by such, which stylesheet is actually being run could be
opaque to the user. (We commonly address such requirements as
which-stylesheet-is-run at the level of the shell that invokes the
process, not the process itself.)
The configuration file would be an xml file with this root element:
<citationstyle class="author-year">
I suppose there could be some other non-xsl programming magic to choose
the right stylesheet if the benefits of the approach are so large that
it more than offsets the loss of ease-of-use, but I really do like the
idea of users just being able to do this:
java net.sf.saxon.Transform -o test.xhtml test.xml ../dbng.xsl
citation-style=aag
.... where dbng.xsl is just importing the single stylesheet.
