I want to know if there is a preferred method of filtering out multiple
parts of a large XML using some form of parameter list/document.
I suggest two possible approaches, neither of which is what you describe:
1) Create a stylesheet for each view and select the appropriate one based on
values from the query string of the submitting page.
2) Create a "view" parameter in single stylesheet with a large <xsl:choose>
section. Then create individual named templates to be called based on the value
of the view parameter as determined in the <xsl:choose>. Like this:
<xsl:param name="view" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'global'>
<xsl:call-template name="global" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'euro'>
<xsl:call-template name="euro" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'london'>
<xsl:call-template name="london" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'new york'>
<xsl:call-template name="new-york" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'paris'>
<xsl:call-template name="paris" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'madrid'>
<xsl:call-template name="madrid" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$view = 'tokyo'>
<xsl:call-template name="tokyo" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name="not-authorized" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
