Actually, I mean a settable XSL parameter. I know for a fact that
XSLT has such parameters and we should exploit them. I'm quite sure
with proper use of XSL we can expurgate any of this pre-processing.

I noticed that. It seems gross. Is this really necessary? Not really
very familiar with XSL, but I'm sure it can know whether the root
document instance is a book or article in the code itself? You've got
your style in two places (article.xml and book.xml) and I'm sure you
don't have to, and this makes it harder to maintain.
