dynamic import of stylesheets?


Hi,

I am using xsl, xml in a perhaps novel way, and can't think of a solution 
to my problem.  To explain:

I am generating reports that are very "per-report" customized.  They are 
built up sentence by sentence based upon values in the source xml 
document.  Each sentence is a named template.  For example, someone with a 
high risk score in cancer will see a certain set of sentences.  For example:
<xsl:if test"/cycle/cancer[@riskscore &gt; 90]">
         <xsl:call-template name="cancer-90"/>
</xsl:if>
and so on....

There are multiple versions of the named template "cancer-90", which is 
called above.  The different versions represent longer, or detailed, or 
shorter ways of saying the same thing.  I put each version of templates in 
it's own stylesheet, and do an import in the top stylesheet( the one that 
calls each of the section stylesheets) of the version of templates that I 
want to use.

I build up a 20 page report this way.  Each report has different sections, 
cancer being one of them.
My problem is that I need to change the version of templates in use (change 
the import) for two of the sections in the report  (and it will be 
different for each report).  To explain, in the areas that people have 
their biggest problems (e.g. smoking, alcohol, weight), I want to use the 
most verbose set of templates.

My problem is that I need to set a different version of templates for each 
section (each section is already in it's own stylesheet) in a dynamic, 
runtime kind of way.

If you see a way to do this, or see a problem in general with my design, 
please get back to me.


Thanks, and sorry for the long post...
Phillip
