Maybe we should declare the common helper stylesheets in the core and this way could use them in the plugins.
Yes, i noticed what you did while i was preparing my patch. However, i have never seen this use of <alias:import href="cocoon://..."/> so i did my quick fix until i can get my head around it.

<alias:import/> will result in a dynamic import. The solution that we have right now (regarding view/viewHelper) will generate dynamically the xsl for the final step of the transformation.
...xmlns:alias="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/TransformAlias";> <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="alias" result-prefix="xsl"/>
Here we switching namespaces for the resulting alias:*. The result is xsl but with alias as namespace.
I implemented it like this because I thought is more effective to define
the templates I need for the transformation before. This way I will have
always only a subset of templates.
...but the drawback is that we do not know whether those pipes will be
cached by cocoon. I am thinking about a java class to get the templates,
store them in a JavaBean and then generating the final aggregated
stylesheet (that only contains "needed" templates) out of the javaBeans
but I reckon that we can discuss after 0.7 release.
Yes i reckon that we should have some method for a library of helper xsl templates.
+1 That should be valid for the copyless approach. This way the usage of the core xsl helper templates will be more effective in plugins.
+1 This looks good.
