David,

How does the XSLT know the exact location of the files that you are  
listing. Do they need to be located in the same directory?

or if it's more convenient have a list.xml that looks like
<files>
 <file>file1.xml</file>
 <file>file2.xml</file>
 <file>file3.xml</file>
</files>

then you can co



<xsl:copy-of select="document(document('list.xml')/files/file)/ 
story"/>



in xslt2 you can use the collection() function which essentially

automates (and hides) the generation of the list.xml file, but in  
XSLT1

you need to have this file list to hand either by making it  
manually or

9for example) modifying a directory listing. Some web service setups

have an option of supplying a listing in XMl format so sometimes you

don't need to make an actual file list xml file, just use an http URI

pointing at the directory.
