Thanks! That will be very helpful.

The missing piece though is that the transformation scenario mechanism 
doesn't provide a way to record the association in the XML document 
itself... does it? (In other words, to persist the association.)
Currently the "Edit [transformation] scenario" dialog has a checkbox 
called 'Use "xml-stylesheet" declaration'. If it also had a button or 
checkbox to 'Insert xml-stylesheet declaration' [tooltip: Insert 
xml-stylesheet declaration into document now]  (grayed out unless the 
XSL URL field has been populated), then that would meet the need.
