Obviously I am using multiple stylesheet modules (though not 50 at
this point), and indeed can generate in part or whole. The documents
themselves contain type information to determine the stylesheet
choice. Is Ant used to regenerate the whole (all the standards you
mention) or per each logical document?
With respect,
Steven

XSLT is ideally suited to this task. But for this kind of
application I
think one usually needs more than one stylesheet, and you need some
control
logic to decide which stylesheets to invoke on which source
documents in
what sequence, and it's very often appropriate to implement that
control
logic in something like Ant (or even a shell-script if you're into
that kind
of thing).
Last time I counted, the production system for the Query/XSLT family
of
specifications included over 50 separate XSLT stylesheet modules.
You need
something to tell the system what to do with them (in this case, Ant
is
used).
