Sure (although it's an XML, not an XSLT solution). Use an external entity
reference. Define the entity in a document type declaration like this:
<!DOCTYPE ... [
<!ENTITY includeme SYSTEM "http://foo.bar.com/baz.xml" >
]>
Where you want to "xml:include" the baz.xml document, simply insert an
entity reference:
&includeme;
