<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY common-variables SYSTEM "file-with-common-variables.xml">

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<xsl:template match="xxx">
&common-variables;
<!-- use the variables... -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In file-with-common-variables.xml, you can list all of the <xsl:variable>s.
No need to have a single document element at the root. The entity reference
will include the file exactly as is.
