It really isn't that extreme. I have a family of schemas that encode a few different document types using the same general building blocks. I want to be able to detect the different types and apply the right CSS stylesheet. Everything else in the configuration is the same. Obviously, I can create different configurations but that really isn't optimal. That would cause all of the templates to be listed under separate headings when a use creates a new document.
