Is there an existing mechanism connecting local XML meta data with xml content files or does one have to do something like include meta file(s) in question into skins/../../../document2html.xsl?

I'm trying to get content-specific data into the Content area of the skin.
Simple when using XSL, not so easy with xdoxs/xml.

Hmmm, I was waiting for someone to respond to this, maybe someone will do so still. However, I want to make sure it doesn't get completely lost.

Using the skins system you should customise the skin to include this data. You are correct that you will have to edit document2html.xsl, and yes it can be messy, this is one of the motivations for building the dispatcher. Using the (in development) dispatcher it is much easier, but that is a dev topic).
