I'm currently working on a project which involves a complex tree-like

by the

right sort of outliner. I'm currently using Python and the 4suite tools to

compress the hierarchy into one file. Are there similar mechanisms in XSLT?

For sure (if I read you right). XSLT does the tree-walking part under its 
own power, and the document() function would give you access to the other 
files. You could just use xsl:copy-of on the node sets it returns, 
introducing whatever wrapper elements you needed (or copying them from the 
OPML) to preserve the hierarchy. The stylesheet could be quite small (maybe 
as little as two or three templates).



Cheers,
Wendell
