However, I'm not sure whether this is the right design for your

would be inclined to stick with the traditional approach: the
special-purpose stylesheet module (here, the XHTML output module)

import the general-purpose module, not the other way around; and you
then
decide which special-purpose module to use by using that as your entry

to the transformation.
Thinking about this more, I'd like to adopt this approach for the
output side.
This still leaves me with the input problem. I have this as my key
input document dependent variable:
<xsl:variable name="citerefs" select="//db:biblioref/@linkend"/>
Is there some elegant way to use the correct xpath expression depending
on the input document?
An "if then else" works if there's only two options, but I'll have more
than that.
I suppose one obvious approach would be this ...
<xsl:variable name="citerefs" select="//db:biblioref/@linkend |
//cite:biblioref/@cite:key |
//tei:cit/@href"/>
.... but I'm worried that's a bad idea from a performance standpoint.
Any other alternatives?
