Is it possible to load an external XML file into an XSLT file and process it using ANOTHER XSLT file?

Example...

XML_file1.xml
<root>
 <list src="crap.xml" />
</root>

crap.xml
<list>
 <li>asdfasdf</li>
 <li>asdfasdf</li>
</list>

XSLT_file1.xsl
<xsl:template match="/">
 <table>
  <tbody>
   HERE I WANT TO LOAD crap.xml BASED ON list/@src and process it with this or another XSL file...
  </tbody>
 </table>
</xsl:template>



I was hoping there was a way to do this with XPath and an <xsl:variable> but I didn't see anything.

is this possible using any current methods (including exslt or anything like that?)

I am looking for a non-Microsoft specific implementation, but if it is possible with MS I would like to see that as well.

Thanks for any help.

PS: I am doing this for the next gen browers... so firefox 3 and IE7-8 would be my target platform.

You can load and process the file using

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('crap.xml')" mode="crap"/>

and then include another stylesheet module containing mode="crap" template rules using <xsl:include href="crap.xsl"/>. You don't have to process different documents using different modes or different stylesheet modules, but it can avoid confusion.

Much appreciated :)
