I'm on the edge and I need a push...

You would use the document(filename) function to merge together data from
different sources.

file A
<quotes>
    <stock name="SYBS" value=="11 1/4"
<quotes>

XSL sheet

<p>this is Yahoo's home page</p>
<p> current stock price for SYBS is
<value-of select="document('a')//stock[@name='SYBS']/@value"/>
</p>

This is implemented for sure in XT and Saxon, probably others too.
