Re: Using document() with a document containing xi:includes

Wow, that works! I just new there had to be a right way to do this, and 
I can easily customize the stylesheets to this approach.

Two things I didn't know about:

1. I didn't know you could stick multiple document inside a p:input, 
though it seems completely obvious now.

2. I didn't know about collection() in xslt 2.0.

I was puzzled at first about whether I needed to make a <collection> 
document to feed to collection(), but it appears that if you use 
collection() with no argument in an xslt in a pipeline, it behaves as if 
it's been given a <collection> document listing all of the documents 
from the input port. Very handy.

I've put a complete demo/example here:

Thanks for the help!
