Hi
I work for Tesco.com. We make extensive use of XSLT on all our websites, some
of them are extremely large projects.

Thanks for your post, just to query one part:
And having multiple smaller files helps collaboration
Why do you think mutiple smaller files helps collaboration?
Because that way you have have one small file locked by programmer A in the
version control system and another small file locked by programmer B in the
version control system.
XSLT is not all that good at being used in large, multi-programmer projects;
there's little-to-no automerge support for version control, and various
processors throw warnings at you if you have a file included in more than one
place (as you want to do if you're defining a bunch of utility functions in a
big mass of XSLT code.) But having things being broken out into smaller files
on some logical grounds -- semantic groupings of target elements, say --
certainly helps.
