In that particular case some steps in the pipeline are the same for all documents (for example, extraction of all the defined terms and section ids into a single master index document), while some steps apply only to one document (for example, creation of the XQuery and XPath documents from a common master); other steps are similar for different documents but with different overlay stylesheets (for example, the XSLT spec has an overlay to define the formatting of element syntax templates). For most of the documents a diff document is generated by a stylesheet that compares with the baseline version, but for some the editors maintain diffs by hand. Encoding the workflow within the documents themselves is a valid approach, especially if different documents can be at different stages in their lifecycle. But in that case you've designed your own miniature pipeline language, and you still need an interpreter for it... You can write that in XSLT (I've done so in the past), but you again hit problems as soon as you want to insert tasks into the pipeline that aren't natural XSLT tasks.
