Dang. I don't like the sound of 2. , so I guess I'll keep it in the
logic of my parsing application/environment. It's doing heaps of
meta-maniplulation already, so I guess one more tweak is no great loss.
I really wanted to find a compliant way to do it though...
Ah well.
 
What I'll do is have XSLa insert an <?xml-stylesheet href="XSLb.xsl" ?>
instruction in its output, and get the parser to scan for that before
pumping out its results.
That will be the least intrusive way of telling any other system (I test
on three platforms) what I'm up to.

Thanks.
