RE: [xsl] using different xsl based on xml

[Robert Seber <robert dot seber at netdecisions dot co dot uk>]

You could have a single generic stylesheet with lots of sub templates.  You
could then perform the transformation and the XSL will match to the elements
available in the incoming XML e.g.

1) <xsl:template match="/root">
   ....

2) <xsl:template match="/data">
   ....

1 would match a root element called "root" and 2 would match a root element
called "data".  Each one could treat the XML differently.

The precise solution depends on the XML you're receiving.  If they share the
same name for elements you may need to increase the complexity of the
'select's and 'match'es.
