There are a handful of ways to do that. What kind of aggregation do
you want?

* <p:wrap-sequence>  will put them in the same document

* You can <p:insert> one into the other.

* If you pass both of them to source port of the <p:xslt> step then
  they'll be available in the default collection

I saw p:pack mentioned later in this thread (which I haven't worked
my way entirely through, so apologies if I'm recovering old ground).

For two single documents, p:pack doesn't do much usefully more than
p:wrap-sequence.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
