It has a mandatory <code>href</code> attribute, which is a URL (absolute or relative) of another stylesheet to be textually included within this one. The top-level elements of the included stylesheet effectively replace the xsl:include element.</p> <p><code>xsl:include</code> may also be used at the top level of the included stylesheet, and so on recursively.</p> <p>To customize the way in which the <code>href</code> attribute is handled, a user-written <code>URIResolver</code> can be supplied.
