Hi there! There is probably some XLST foo out there that does what you want. I’d like to suggest an other approach. Have a look at "Xpointers" for the x:include element. The attribute "xpointer" on that element defines an xpath expression (kind of) that is used to select only parts of the document you want to include.
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html#UsingXinclude <http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html#UsingXinclude> See e.g. "Selecting part of a file". However, your tool chain must support xpointers (not sure if xproc has suport for the full power of xpointers). Hope this helps!
