Hi Brian,
You observation is incorrect -- Xalan always processes included and
imported stylesheets when it compiles the stylesheet. There is a
post-construction step which "composes" the stylesheets.
Take a look at Stylesheet:::postConstruction() to see what's going on.

My observation of Xalan's behavior suggests that stylesheets do not
represent the results of the included or imported stylesheets. Is that
observation incorrect (your reply seems to suggest that)?
