Clay,

If the source documents are all files, you could use the document()
function, which will get the referenced document as a node set. 

Not sure how you can do this if the multiple sources are, say, in-memory
Document objects as opposed to files.  (I'd be very interested to know how
multiple XML objects, or input streams even, could be accessed from XSL.  I
don't particularly want to write all my Documents to the file system.)

Another possibility to merge multiple Document objects, I suppose, is to
chain together a number of transforms, producing a series of intermediate
XML documents, the final one of which would be what you really want.  This
might be painfully slow ...

Subject: combining multiple data sources





I am looking for some suggestions on how to merge multiple sources of xml
data
into a single stylesheet.  all of the sources will have an idnumber in
common.
This example is simplified, and the id attribute doesn't necessarily have to
be
in that position:

<Source1ML>
     <ADDRESS  id="100">
          <STREETNUM>123</STREETNUM>
          <STREETNAME>Main St.</STREETNAME>
     </ADDRESS>
</Source1ML>

<Source2ML>
     <CUSTOMER  id="100">
          <FIRSTNAME>John</FIRSTNAME>
          <MIDDLENAME>Q.</MIDDLENAME>
          <LASTNAME>Doe</LASTNAME>
     </CUSTOMER>
</Source2ML>

<Source3ML>
     <PHONENUMBER>
          <NPA>555</NPA>
          <NXX>555</NXX>
          <XXXX>1234</XXXX>
     </PHONENUMBER>
</Source3ML>

thanks.
