Dear Ted,
The document() function lets your XSL stylesheet access documents
other than the main input document.  See the FAQ at

> Subject:  Transform 2 XML Documents at Once?

> 
> Hi,
> 
> Is it possible to "merge" two XML documents using one XSL document in 
> one pass?
> 
> I have an XHTML document that represents the "display" and an XML 
> document that represents the "data".
> 
> The XHTML document has a FORM element that is used to capture 
> data when 
> it is entered into the database. I'd like to reuse this XHTML 
> document 
> for displaying the data once it's been entered (to confirm 
> that it was 
> entered).
> 
> However, I want to transform INPUT (and other FORM elements) into P 
> elements while setting the text node of the P element to the 
> corresponding data in the other XML file (which is really just an XML 
> representation of the posted data).
> 
> I realize I could break it down into two steps (1: transform 
> the XHTML 
> document into an XSL document, 2: transform the posted data with the 
> new XSL document), but creating the XSL document for step 1 
> just seems 
> like more than I am prepared to do and I'm looking for a shortcut.

> As always, thank you in advance. The help on this list has been great 
> and as I get more proficient, I hope to contribute answers in
