It must be on the 75% the problem of Cocoon docs, but this question is
definitely lightened in the rest 25% ;)

Sometimes you need to use unique XSL file for several XML files, but this
is
also solved by the sitemap in a varios ways, e.g.:
<map:match pattern="*.xml">
<map:generate src="{1}.xml/>
<map:transform src="{1}.xsl"/>
<map:serialize />
</map:match>
For a request like '/cocoon/page.xml' the following will be performed:
'page.xml' file will be read, parsed into SAX events
'page.xsl' will be read, then applied to the generated SAX event stream
default (HTML) serializer will output the result as HTML
This will work if you name your stylesheets as your xml files
(my-page.xml -> my-page.xsl). There a lot more possibilities for doing
this,
even generating a stylesheet on the fly or serving it from a database.
