Transclusion with XSLT 2.0 (O'Reilly)

Bob DuCharme writes about transclusion and XSLT on O'Reilly. "Transclusion is a hypertext concept that began in the work of Ted Nelson, who coined the term "hypertext". Roughly speaking, transclusion is the inclusion of a resource, or part of a resource, potentially from anywhere in the world, within a new one. For example, the HTML img element is a form of transclusion. Nelson envisioned dynamic compound documents consisting entirely of pointers to pieces of other documents, with the compound ones automatically reflecting updates to the transcluded pieces."
