Sure, that works. But now suppose I have /more than one/ XSL file. In 
order to select which one I want applied, I have to actually edit the 
XML file.

I'd prefer to have the link between XML and XSL in a file external to 
the XML file - but apparently that is impossible. (Unless you use an 
external 3rd party XSL tool.)
