RE: Can one stylesheet handle two different xml files with different nod

Sorry, I'm not aware of any more detailed worked examples. I've come
across projects making very elaborate use of meta-stylesheets, but I
can't point you to any resources. But stylesheets are just XML
documents, so you should be able to work it out for yourself.
