i finally started cleaning up the control document handling in exyus this evening.

first, my idea to use a single XSLT document to handle all transformations for a resource is just plain *wrong* as soon as i wanted to handle a different mime-type, my idea was blown out of the water [sigh]. i'm back to using the following files:

• args.xsl
• get_request_{mtype}.xsl
• get_response_{mtype}.xsl
• post_request_{mtype}.xsl
• post_response_{mtype}.xsl
• put_request_{mtype}.xsl
• pust_response_{mtype}.xsl
• delete_request_{mtype}.xsl
• delete_response_{mtype}.xsl

not all these are needed, but it handles all the cases i can think of. the default or fallback will be handled within the local file itself (using the <include /> element).

i tested this and it works well. just wish i could reduce the physical files...
