RE: [xsl] xml-stylesheet and vars

["Michael Kay" <michael dot h dot kay at ntlworld dot com>]

I never use the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction. I don't think
it's appropriate for an XML document to say how it should be processed.
I think it would be much better to control the relationship between
source documents and stylesheets in a different way: exactly how,
depends on your application.
