Lots of people want to do this, and you can't. xsl:include is a compile time thing: you can't build a stylesheet that varies depending on its data, any more than you can build a Java program that depends on its data. There are a number of possible alternatives. - select the stylesheet you want to use from a range of possible stylesheets, and have this import shared stylesheet modules, rather than starting with a general purpose stylesheet and having this select a special-purpose one. - use modes to control which sets of template rules are active - do a multi-phase transformation, controlled from the processor's API, in which the first phase makes decisions about which stylesheets to use for subsequent phases.
