Re: [xsl] processing multiple documents concatenated into one

If the file is in the form

<root>
  ....
</root>
<root>
....
</root>

then you should be able to present to the XML parser a skeleton document of the 
form

<!DOCTYPE dummy [
<!ENTITY x "multidoc.xml"/>]
<dummy>&x;</dummy>

and the XSLT stylesheet will just see this is a normal standard (and 
streamable) XML input.

If however the file is in the form

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  ....
</root>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
....
</root>

then you have a bit more work to do, because this isn't a well formed external 
entity. Assuming Java, you will need to write an implementation of the Java 
InputStream class that filters the input document and removes the XML 
declarations, and present this InputStream as the input to the XML parser.
