sorry, but this a complete red herring. I am suggesting that we add a stage
in the Guidelines build process with an almost-identity tranform which
expands stats PIs, and XIncludes.

this has nothing to do with the general stylesheets and how to persuade
people that it is not that hard to hack them.

When people ask me why I don't document the XSL,
I wonder whether anyone actually _reads_ http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-xsl-common/
