You can use XInclude for this purpose. Using XInclude + XPointer you can
include just small fragments of XML not the whole referenced file. It is
also possible to solve this problem on XSLT level. For example, in your
document you can write <replace>productversion</replace> and then write
simple XSLT which will replace such element with a proper value for
productversion.
