To change the site design I have to update each
> xsl file in the site.
Well, of course the trick is to get the modularity right so you only
define each aspect of the site rendition once. This means careful
structures of xsl:include and xsl:import so that common definitions are
reused.
I've seen another site that achieved the same effect by generating all
the stylesheets from a master definition of all the rendition rules -
using XSLT of course.
Clearly, if each page on the site has a separate stylesheet, then you
might just as well be using HTML.
